DECEMBER 8 1980
John was about to enter an era of pure blues, based on his beliefs that we must achieve peace in
the world, and his sadness that we were (are) far from it. Yoko was part of his motivation to pursue alternative avenues of musical expression. A Lennon album of Blues would have sent shock waves throughout the world’s establishment authorities. Make no mistake that John’s music and lifestyle was already driving them crazy but they also knew that a Lennon Blues album would have been more trouble than they could have withstood. John was murdered in front of his own apartment building. The aftermath is legend.
