41 Years Ago Today ...

.

Forty One Years ago today ,

a life ended,

a dream persisted,

and

the world slowly moved forward.

.

Today

the dream remains,

the life is remembered,

and

the world continues to move slowly forward.

.

I like Bill Hicks' take on it:

"... the fact we live in a world where John Lennon was murdered,

yet Milli Vanilli walks the f---ing planet. You know? Bad choice.

Just from me to you, it wasn't a good one. But isn't that weird,

we always kill the guys who try and help us.

Isn't that strange that we let the little demons run amock, always?
John Lennon: murdered.

John Kennedy: murdered.

Martin Luther King: murdered.

Gandhi: murdered.

Jesus: murdered.

Reagan ... wounded.

You know. Bad F---ING choice!!"
