I got my first guitar when I was nine because I wanted to be the fifth Beatle, even though they had already broken up and John Lennon died that year.

John Lennon was definitely my favorite Beatle, hands down.

I used to think it was mere homesickness, then I started getting it at home.

John Lennon was everything his friends wanted to be, and said everything they wanted to say but wouldn't dare. John Lennon always dared.

At that moment when John Lennon settled his voice on the back of a dove and released it to the world, could he have possibly imagined that all these years later, I would be here in my office imagining us imagining him?

A Muzak version of 'Imagine' comes on and John Lennon wakes up in his tomb, appalled.
