"If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal."

John Lennon
1940-1980

He opened our eyes to a whole new way of looking at the world.

He taught us an appreciation for music, art, and life. He taught us to seek peace and love.

He was an extraordinary man who didn't deserve to die at the hands of a misguided fan.

Although John Lennon is no longer in this physical plane, his presence lives on in those who continue to cherish the ideals of peace, love and partying.
