But he wasn't the only one.
I remember being five when Lennon died, 30 years ago today. Zandardad was pretty broken up over it, having grown up in Long Island in the 60's. I remember him taking me and my brother to the post office the next morning before school and I was wondering why everyone was sad that day and he explained what happened.
World got a bit darker after that day.

but you may NOT say i'm a sanctimonious purist! sorry, just being bitchy (but i'm not the only one!)
hmmmm, i'm trying to think of any modern day cultural heroes fighting the good fight for truth, justice and peace. bono and aids relief in africa? lady gaga and LGBT rights? that guy who ripped off sinatra that's rebuilding new orleans? today's music/cultural heroes don't seem to pack the punch of yesteryears. is it a case of too many causes and not enough air-time or do we as a country just not give a rat's ass about such things anymore? has idealism become declasse?
