If John saw the world today, he would be disgusted. 41 years after his death, and the world is still far from peace. To quote the 2019 movie Yesterday; "A world without the Beatles is a world that is infinitely worse."
I am a huge Beatles fan and even though I didn't agree with some of John's stances I appreciate him for the impact he had and still has. Today's society with all the woke cultural division would likely not sit well with him. As outspoken as he was I am sure he would call the crazies crazy.

John wasn't taken to the hospital by ambulance. The first two police officers on the scene realized how badly John had been injured, and they put him in the police car and took him to Roosevelt Hospital.
I had no idea his death was so drammatic...by that I mean I didn't think he crawled up the stairs and called for help. I also did not know Yoko was with him.
I feel so bad for John and Yoko, it’s so sad that Yoko saw him get shot but at the same time I’m glad that John was with a loved one R.I.P you beautiful soul 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
In a way it would have been kinder if he’d been killed immediately, shot to the head instead. The idea that he had awareness of what happened is horrible
I was a huge Beatle and Lennon fan, living in NYC at the time, when John died. This was only a few months after we lost John Bonham from Led Zeppelin, so rock fans were still raw. I remember every NY radio station playing Beatle music for about a week: weather stations, news stations, business stations....it didn't matter what the radio stations normally played, for a while they all played Beatle music, non stop. It was sad also because there had been so much healing with him and his life at that point - Sean was a young boy, John had a good family life, and John's new album had many beautiful songs celebrating life. It was a very sad time.
with the lost of both johns music honestly could never be the same but we have to remember john was taken from us he did not die and what get me is why the hell does that fat sweaty pig that show him still around evil never dies
I was listening to the radio at my sister's house in LA, preparing to go to sleep on the floor of her living room. Over the radio came the stunning news. And tears slowly ran down my face all night long. John was my favorite artist of all time, someone who inspired me to make music. He was the soul of the Beatles. He is still with us, living inside each of us are his words and melodies that lifted our spirits and made us think. He was and will always be a major loss to the world of music and to those who grew up watching him go from a young Liverpool lad with so much confidence and charisma to a well stated and colorful adult who stood for love and peace in a messed up world. Thank you John, my life would not be the same without your generous and lovely influence.
I think people have to remember two things… just because they made brilliant music together at one time, that doesn’t mean they have to be lifelong BFFs. Also, they don’t owe the interviewers any of their deep feelings anyway.
I was in 2nd grade when John died. I remember myself, and many other classmates mentioning him during morning prayers the next day, and for days later...even for young kids, it was quite a loss
Seems very reasonable to me. To a doctor/surgeon it shouldn't matter who is being taken care of, and when every second matters to try and bring someone back it would be a disgrace if that's how they spent their time.
@@jk4675 No. He would tour to promote his album in 1981. I'm sure Paul would go on stage for a show. Then 1982 he would have MILK & HONEY. So, it would be 1985 LIVE AID that would have been the 1st show. From there who knows.
The photo of his bloody glasses showed the clear frames with slightly blue lenses and yet the photo taken just hours before when he signed the murderers record he was wearing the honey orange colored glasses with dark lenses.I find that a bit strange but I suppose he just changed them.
@@Maw0 “Back inside” where? The record plant? The limo? The apartment? The last known photo was taking of him (with the honey colored glasses) getting into the car fo go to the record plant.He probably jus had the extra glasses with him for nighttime wear and switched them out.Lennon had a amazing gift of musical talent.Such a great loss.His ability to hook a melody into a hit song appeared to be effortless for him.
It's not strange in the least. When he was leaving for the recording studio, it was around 5pm as he signed the record for Chapman. This is just before sunset at that time of year in New York. So, he was wearing sunglasses. Some famous people do that. Obviously, as most people probably would, he took off his sunglasses either in the limo or when working and upon returning home at almost 11pm, i highly doubt he'd put sunglasses back on to walk into his apartment building that late at night. He was wearing his normal glasses.
@@stonecutter2 That makes sense.Lennon just had a mysterious way with changing his look often.He was like a chameleon in a sense.I just remember as a kid always thinking that was strange but now 4 decades later I understand.Very sad thing.I wish we could have had him more years.
I hate mark so much he is an awful human being Lennon deserves so much more I love John so much this just breaks my heart R.I.P you beautiful soul 🕊️🕊️🕊️
The video stated Chapman waited patiently for the police to arrive. Very suspicious, as was the other Beatles fairly neutral response when asked about John.
As much as we sympathise John Lennon as a special human being who was on earth. What would John Lennon have said for not giving parole to Chapman?? I guess if he really meant his words, he would have said, "Give peace a chance". But showing our regret and anger of Chapman doesnt mean music has stopped or come to a stand still. Forgiveness and love is what John Lennon preached and his assassin is an example that Lennon's words were not practical but just a feel good statement for his fans and the judgemental word. I dont condone or support the killing of John Lennon. I am a big fan of Beatles. But that doesnt mean I become biased on reality.
I'm guessing that if John had a second chance at life like I did (I'll be 50 years old on July 15 and I'm a stroke and cardiac arrest and colon cancer survivor) I think that he would apologize
RIP, John Lennon. Chapman doesn't deserve parole because he's a POS for murdering one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time. I hope he makes his peace with God.
All because he had an opinion about Jesus, dude decided to do the exact opposite of what Jesus SAID to do, and instead decided murder might be ok in this instance.. Wow...

Why did the fn creep get out of prison!!!! What a fn sick mind Champmen. . He needs to be put back into prison. John, your soul lives on !!! Be in God's heavenly kingdom. And Gorge also. Keep on rockn.
The fact that Ringo instantly got on a plane from England to NYC shows what kind of a man he is. Paul & George should be ashamed of themselves. Regardless of creative differences and what was said, this has nothing to do with professionalism. This is just humanism, he was your friend.
And you know this how? He didn't move his arms around? Nobody else happened to try to help him and maybe took his glasses off while he lay there? You don't know the timeline... don't try to assume anything.
While I do think John's apology about the "Jesus" comment is sincere, he is by far one the most (if not, THE MOST) overrated public figure ever, as well as his song "Imagine"! 🤮🤮
He had an arrogant attitude being so famous thinking he could walk around on the streets with impunity too many goddamn crazy people in the world it is what it is
What he did was the opposite of arrogance. I think he had a naive view of strangers. He thought most people would leave him to live his life. I hear New Yorkers have an unwritten rule to leave celebrities alone in public. I do wish Lennon had feared for his own safety more.
Always I wonder what kind of beautiful songs we are missing from his tragic passing.
No prision, death row, torture would ever repair what this monster did. We are left with only Lennon's words: All you need is love.
My dad was being born as John Lennon was shot. My grandma, a huge Beatles fan, said it was the worst best day of her life
Your mom shouldnt of said that-bud.
Why not?
@@CurtisLoew63why?
I drive past John's old house in Liverpool verry often sometimes I get goosebumps, and I always thank him 😊
You should make a video and show us what it looks like and stuff that'd be awesome
The fact that Chapman didn't get charged with 1st degree murder is strange. It was most definitely premeditated
That guy was told to do that I'd bet there's more to it then we're always told. Hoping for peace for eternity for John Lennon.

Paul has already explained his reaction so many times
Chapman was the nobody who hated that fact so he ended the life of the biggest somebody.
I can't believe he had no security guards to protect him. When I met Duane Johnson, The Rock; security was everywhere.
The time was different back then.
Thank you for posting this... everytime I see any video on this topic, I just hope for some miracle that he was saved....
I was in 2nd grade when John died. I remember myself, and many other classmates mentioning him during morning prayers the next day, and for days later...even for young kids, it was quite a loss
No parole!
Larry King should not have interviewed Chapman. He should be forgotten, not given attention and limelight for his evil crime.
😢So tragic! Oh my! To learn that the medical team surrounding John Lennon didn’t even know upon whom they were working initially my goodness...😢😢😢
Seems very reasonable to me. To a doctor/surgeon it shouldn't matter who is being taken care of, and when every second matters to try and bring someone back it would be a disgrace if that's how they spent their time.

sigh in memory of john lennon
