I so feel you. Ther are very few artists that really touch me. The funny thing is...I'm not a hippie, I didn't grow up in the 70's, and I never heard a Beatles song until after John Lennon's death. The truth is, I am only 23. Unfortunately I will never experience seeing this magical person live in concert, and I will never get to hear a brand new song by the Beatles or Lennon. As much as I feel deprived, I also feel honored. I was not around when the most influential person that ever lived was killed. I did not have to suffer it first hand. All I have is the wonderful music that was made. And no matter what my 23 year old friends say, I am a hippie that was born too late.
