The Freewheelin' euan Wrote:i feel the same. i didnt really feel that way up untill a certain point as i was born 14 years after he died but when i watched john Lennon vs the usa at the end there is the sound of four gunshots and you see Lennon's face slowly fades. and it was the first time the realisation hit me and i felt like someone close had gone i really love his music. And sure he had his faults but that's what makes him so human like joe strummer. even though he was super rich and is super famous you can still relate to him on a personal level and i think that's why so many people connect with him on such deep levels even people born after his death. poor john he never did deserve what he got in the end.
i agree, "lennon vs the usa" was brilliant IMO...and you are quite correct Euan about the ending: it left a gut wrenching emptiness in my stomach, moreso than when i heard he died.
at the same time though i was 9 when Elvis died(or was put into witness protection) and i cried for a whole day upon hearing the news, he was my first "idol", loved him since i could walk!
