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

I just shot John Lennon.

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

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.

One thing I can tell you is you have to be free. Come together, right now, over me.
