John Lennon was an English music artist who gained worldwide fame as one of the members of the Beatles, for his subsequent solo career, and for his political activism and pacifism.
On 8 December 1980, thirty six years ago, Lennon was shot by Mark David Chapman in the archway of the Dakota, his residence in New York City.
Lennon had just returned from Record Plant Studio with his wife, Yoko Ono.
After sustaining four major gunshot wounds, Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival at Roosevelt Hospital.
“Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.”
“All You Need Is Love” is a song by the Beatles that was released as a non-album single in July 1967. It was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney.

PARTIAL LYRICS
There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It’s easy
Nothing you can make that can’t be made
No one you can save that can’t be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It’s easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need …
I got tears in my eyes as I watched and listened and the message is so simple,
“All You Need Is Love.”
I love the Beatles and this song and I have to ask the question, when are we going to love our children and our neighbors more than, our wars, or things, our technology, our ideologies, religions, political ideas, material goods, profits and wealth! Stop the waste, the hate and the greed, LOVE!
It just takes one candle to cruse the darkness, be one of them.
