Countless words have been written about John Lennon over the years so I don’t really think there’s anything new or profound I can add. I was just a kid in elementary school when he died exactly 29 years ago so I was too young to really understand his impact and why his death hit people so hard. I grew up listening to the Beatles so the music was a part of my life from my earliest memory and of course it was great. But it wasn’t until I was much older before I understood that the Beatles and John Lennon, in particular, was about more than just awesome music.
