    the whole world misses you, or the whole world worth a damn anyway.

    They're screening the documentary of Lennon's NYC years in Central Park tonight...LennonNYC.  Amongst the celebrations around the world.

    "The way things are going, they're gonna crucify me"

    And of course I'm pushing a diary.

    If you would like to see a few photos and some stories from the events that take place at Strawberry Fields in Central Park then check out Remembering John Lennon over at Progressive Blue.

    I went today but it was far too crowded to get good photos this time. Far too crowded but still a great time surrounded by others who want to "Give Peace A Chance."

    and I thank you.

    My memories today are of 46 years ago, when I saw John Lennon and the rest of the best band ever -- in person, on their first U.S. tour.

    But the magical mystery tour continues. . . .

    and I can remember riding in the station wagon with my parents to take my sister and her girlfriend to the event.  The place was absolutely packed - I had never seen so many people in my young life!  I love the Beatles and their music.  What would this world have been without them?
