Rob, nothing so dramatic as your story. I was late learning about The Beatles - was already a young mother, and later heard 'Imagine' at Kriya Yoga Temple in Chicago for the first time. I've never been so deeply immersed in hope/hopelessness before and since. I cannot, to this day, hear 'Imagine' without crying.

Am listening to Shaved Fish as I write....let's stop all the fights....Happy New Year..let's hope it's a good one.. without any fear...war is over if you want..war is over now.

I'm left again with my favorite song, 'Imagine', because I see what we appear to want is war since it's all around us. I'm 63 and I love John, too.
Oh, yes, let's all bless each other - PLEASE.
