John Lennon was shot and killed 36 years ago tonight, and about 150 to 200 people showed up to memorialize him with candles and flowers on Thursday at Strawberry Fields, in Central Park around 72nd Street. They had guitars and keyboards.
“They sang virtually the entire Beatles catalog. Great vibe,” wrote Ernie Fritz.

I was there in 1980, among a thousand people or so, when we heard the sad news.
Way too early for such a person of mind to go.
May John rest in peace.
May the killer rot in jail.
Can’t let it go by without saying, “Thank you, John. I’m still imagining.”
Sorry I missed that!
