OF THE<br />
BEATLES comes, the Beatles were no<br />
I<br />
12-1 3-80<br />
In retrospect upon John<br />
Lemon's death at first glance<br />
there seems to be no obvious<br />
won for his Ass<strong>as</strong>sination.<br />
Fit we must look at John<br />
Lehdn the man and the pert<br />
I<br />
f~-. Lennon's whole philosophy<br />
can be summed up in<br />
two words. Peace and love.<br />
/ He spent his entire adult <strong>as</strong> a<br />
[. person and a performer <strong>as</strong><br />
I possibly the major world<br />
, advocate of peace and love.<br />
This may seem like a very<br />
! strong statem* and perhaps<br />
i<br />
> 'it is. Then if that is the c<strong>as</strong>e<br />
; ,consider my ignorance on this<br />
l@trticular matter. To fully<br />
understand his death we<br />
! must think back in time.<br />
,<br />
bBack when the Beatles were<br />
b:together and performing.<br />
Then we must think about the<br />
kbeopie they and their music<br />
influenced. The shape of our<br />
comkry and the shape of the<br />
: world: The people were look-<br />
P,ing for something more than<br />
&the hypocrisy and destr'uction<br />
that our society offered in the<br />
middle of all of this of the<br />
war, the riots, the peace<br />
marches ptc.. or &e Beatles,<br />
own'way sayhg somethit& to 5<br />
eacE; of us. .&nhoii w<strong>as</strong>'say-. '<br />
ing peace and love. Then it<br />
longer. They quit. No one<br />
knew for sure. It w<strong>as</strong> given<br />
to us that John and Paul<br />
could no longer get along.<br />
But what it really w<strong>as</strong> they<br />
quit so that Lennm could be<br />
killed. In the great puzzle 01<br />
the Universe the force that<br />
put every piece in its place<br />
foresaw the possibility of his<br />
Ass<strong>as</strong>sination and with this<br />
inbite wisdom saw the<br />
destruction that would take<br />
place if this were to happen,<br />
his killing while &e Bcahs<br />
were still together, So the&<br />
must be h e for the itrfluen,ce<br />
of the group over the people<br />
to have time to wear down<br />
some. If Lennon would have<br />
been killed while performingwith<br />
the Beatles there would<br />
have been a great possibility<br />
for tremendous destruction t<br />
and violence and this w<strong>as</strong> not<br />
Lemons way. The Beatles<br />
disbanded so that John<br />
Eennon.could fulfill his destiny<br />
and instead of bringing<br />
violence and destruction it<br />
will bring a world Wide<br />
moment of sil~t prayer and<br />
peace <strong>as</strong> we honor his<br />
memory.<br />
