Here's the view as you walk down the stairs to go through the Lennon exhibit. This was taken just before the big sign and the big guy that both say, "No cameras allowed". This means that above and to the right will be the reader's entire visual tour of the John Lennon exhibit. But they're good pictures anyhow, right? It sorta makes you wish you could see it. It was a really well done exhibit; as the name suggests, it was mostly the occasional snippet of John's final songs, both finished and unfinished, and some sort of an explanation of where he was, what he was doing and what he was likely thinking at the time he wrote them. It was neat to hear and read about him without all the bias of who broke who up, and which Beatle hated which when. Also, they had big timelines of his life, and some audio clips of the interviews he gave during the seventies. Yes, I know that John wasn't exactly the pinnacle of all things good in the world, but somewhere mixed up in all the strange and wonderful things he did, there really was a good message. War Is Over, If You Want It. Give Peace A Chance. All You Need Is Love. Beautiful, Beautiful Boy. Instant Karma. Imagine... It's good stuff. He had a lot of influence on the minds of the young and the old, and I give him a lot of credit for at least trying to use it for good. Not too many celebrities even trying any more. So why would someone shoot him in the back three times in front of his wife and son, the month after he finally started leaving the house again? I miss John, and we were never even in the same world at the same time.
