It still hurts.
I'm still angry, still shocked, and still very, very sad.
Why did Mark David Chapman murder John Lennon? How have we managed to create a society where guns and violence are not just OK, they are celebrated?
John Lennon always was, and always will be, my hero. Sure he was a little weird, more than a little naive, sometimes irresponsible, and deeply flawed.
He was also a genius who spread joy and excitement throughout the world. He inspired millions to look towards a brighter future. He spoke to - and for - all of us.
The world is a darker, crueler, more dangerous place than it used to be. John Lennon was no saint and no saviour, but I can't help but feel it would be a better place if he were still here.
I still miss him. It still hurts.
