Remembering John Lennon
December 08, 2005
Elizabeth Partridge, the author of an acclaimed new biography of John Lennon, appears at Book Passage, in Corte Madera, California, tomorrow, December 9th. (Corte Madera is in Marin County, f.y.i.) She'll talk and show slides, and two musicians will perform some of the former Beatle's songs. John Lennon: All I Want Is the Truth is written for children aged twelve and up. You can read an excerpt on the publisher's web site. Click here.
Today is the 25th anniversary of Lennon's death, and many people are planning to gather at Central Park's Strawberry Fields, according to the New York Daily News.
I remember this day like it was yesterday and I was just a preteen. I was listening to a top 40 count down when they announced his death on the radio. My dad cried when I told him.

I was so shocked. I remember thinking, why in the world would anyone want to kill John Lennon. As if something rational would have explained it...
