Please no Thumbs down!

I think the horrible and senseless way John Lennon was shot down in cold blood was not only a tragedy for rock and roll but a tragedy for the whole world. It was truly one of the worst days of my life.

    The Beatles! The Beatles breakup was THE greatest loss. And then we lost two to death and the chance for redemption. The Beatles pioneered Rock and Roll as we know it and have influenced nearly EVERY band since.

    Clearly Kurt Cobain and John Lennon, check out their lyrics, they were amazing. Also, check some of their quotes and you´ll realize they were outstanding persons with enormous sensibility, that´s where their genius relied on.
