Artist's Comments


In the dead
Loud in this silence
When my soul is at rest
I never saw it coming

Just before the music died
The Dakota doorman shouted
Do you know what you've done?
...... I just shot John Lennon


****

If you hate long describtions...
Feel free to skip the wole symbolic thing I was going for, and react to the photo alone.
That's cool :D

****

Still here?
Great.

The cat, lerking in the grass, is the cather in the hye.
John lennon, is the white, pure, innocent duck.
However, the cat is acting out of his natural instincts.
He can't be blame for being what he was meant to be.

This is not the case with Mark Chapman, the original cather in the Hye.

****

Let me just take this of my cheast...
8 December, 1980: John Lennon shot dead.
The 40 years old beautiful poet and soul, was shot several times as he entered the Dakota, his luxury apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side, opposite Central Park, at 23:00 local time.
He was rushed in a police car to St Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center, where he died.
His wife, Yoko Ono, who is understood to have witnessed the attack, was with him.

John Lennon's assassin, Mark Chapman, asked the former Beatle to sign a copy of "The Catcher in the Rye" earlier in the morning of the day that he murdered Lennon. Police found the book in his possession upon apprehending the psychologically disturbed Chapman.
However, the book itself contains nothing that could be attributed with leading Chapman to act as he did. It could have been any book that he was reading the day he decided to kill John Lennon, and as a result of the fact that it was The Catcher in the Rye, a book describing a nervous breakdown, media speculated widely about the possible connection.
This gave the book even more notoriety.

****

John lennon was my favorite beatle.
He was a wonderful man. A poet.
A man striving to make a difference, to make a better world.
This is my little tribute to that huge man, that legend.
If we believe in his way, and give peace a chance, he didn't die for nothing.

****

Ohhh, and I hope you like the picture ;p
