Thanksgiving & Music History: The Last Waltz, Lennon's Final Concert & More

Years ago John & Yoko could be seen walking through Central Park...no body guards...no security..and nobody bothered them..until that scumbag came along and took his life. As long as Yoko is alive...he'll never be released from prison. If it was up to me? He would have be dead right after committing this crime.

I believe John Lennon & Elton John sang I Saw Her Standing There in that concert and John Lennon did the background vocals on Elton's excellent version of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and also on David Bowie's mid 70's hit Fame, in case no one knew..

I miss Lennons solo music.

This was a wonderful moment in music history. John lost a bet with Elton (Elton made a hit with an old song of John's), which required him to show up at one of Elton's concert to perform together (which did NOT thrill John). John was still in his break with his true love Yoko...but unknown to him, she was in the audiance, met him backstage, and they reunited. Cool, huh.

Thanks for the foto, one I had never seen. Elton John did sorta creep up the 70s in his own special way. but some good music here and there, and John Lennon was always a good sport. for last half of the 20th century, my favorite decade would be the sixties, then fifties, then nineties, then eighties, and in last place, the 70s. however, some great stuff mixed in with truly awful. hope the second decade of the 21st century has more to offer of the best, and forget the rest.

He said that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus , not better, more popular. He was right. Jesus was in one popularity contest in his life and he lost to a guy named Barabas. If Lennon had said that the Beatles were more popular that Barabas, he would have gotten away with it.

WOW happy thx giving even to the meatpipes you can hate and be ignorant tomorrow

Isn't he the guy that said He and the Bettles were more famous than Jesus?? And not to long after that some NUT shot him!!!!!! It seems all to many of these Clowns feel they are the gift to humanity!!! They are JERKS who have become so egotistical and RICH that they have lost their MORAL CLARITY-They are Gods unto themselves and have taken with them, many followers who are just as bad.

John Lennon was shot, he did not die of a drug overdose, so perhaps you are a little bright on the out of touch palette, Tif.

I'm so tired of the media making martyrs out of drug addicts, e.g., Lennon, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and the others. What kid of message does this send to our young people? Color me out of touch, if you want, but it is the truth.
