Germany's Greatest War Heroes

John Lennon: 30 years already!

When John Lennon was murdered Dec. 8, 1980, I had hardly gotten to know his music. At the time, unlike my friends from school, I was interested in little groups of the 60s and early 70s as the Doors, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. For me it was The Police, The B-52's and Madness. The only "old group" which began to be interested were the Rolling Stones and the Beatles.

The teenager that I was rather marked by the death of Lennon. I remember the radio, we heard the song (Just Like) Starting Over repeatedly. It was difficult for me to believe that it could be lashing out at a pacifist ...

30 years after his death, he who claimed to be more popular than Jesus is still very present in popular culture. The Beatles songs to sell a ton to the iTunes Store, and full output last year was out of stock for several weeks. Most recently, the complete discography of John Lennon was right in dubbing digital. bet you find several copies in under Christmas trees.
