RIP John Lennon

As all of you should know tomorrow is the 28th anniversary of the death of the world's greatest singer/songwriter, activist, and prophet, John Lennon. Many fans (including myself) are wearing all black in memory of their fallen hero.

Vatican Forgives Lennon's Remark

"The remark by John Lennon, which triggered deep indignation mainly in the United States, after many years sounds only like a 'boast' by a young working-class Englishman faced with unexpected success, after growing up in the legend of Elvis and rock and roll," Vatican daily Osservatore Romano said.

The article, marking the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' The White Album, went on to praise the pop band.

"The fact remains that 38 years after breaking up, the songs of the Lennon-McCartney brand have shown an extraordinary resistance to the passage of time, becoming a source of inspiration for more than one generation of pop musicians," it said.

Thanks to Chris, who explained to me a few years ago what Lennon meant. Rock music isn't the devil.
