Lennon Lives

25 years ago, his tragic death launched an endless season of mourning, along with decades' worth of turmoil and infighting among his survivors. The story of one Beatle's afterlife.



By Jeff GilesNewsweek

Nov. 28, 2005 issue - Even 25 years later, the details of his death come rushing back, like a flock of dark birds. It is early December in Manhattan. Shortly before 11 p.m. He's just turned 40, and recording albums for the first time in five years. He and his wife are returning from the studio. He insisted on going home without eating because he wants to see Sean, their 5-year-old boy, before bed. He steps out of the limousine, and someone calls out to him. People have been calling out to him since he was very young. Suddenly he is stumbling through the Gothic Dakota building's entranceway, and struggling up the steps to the doorman's desk. He is trailing blood. He is gasping, "I'm shot!" The doorman rushes out, sees that the killer has dropped his gun and kicks it away. Then the doorman starts crying. He turns to the killer. "Do you know what you just did?" Of course he does: "I just shot John Lennon."

[Алекс с цифрами]

Да, я помню этот день. У нас физик был битломан и до этого дня мы ему впаривали диски по 20 руб, а фотографии по 10руб, но после того как Леннона убили, продавали по 25 руб, а фотографии по 15 руб. А еще помню мы подошли к нему перед уроком и сказали, что Леннон-это совесть нашей эпохи и он у нас не спрашивал домашнее задание, а остальных отдрючил по полной программе за смерть Джона.
