So this weekend I met up with some friends in Manhattan and we took a walk around Central Park...at one point we went over to John and Yoko's home, the Dakota.

We walked over to pay our respects at the site where John was killed, only to be greeted by a police line and people in head-sets telling us to please move along...then it hit me; they were filming for the movie being made about the assassin.

I had read that Yoko, who still lives there, has been very vocal in her objections to the incident being recreated at her doorstep, understandable to say the least....so before I knew it, there I was yelling at the director, the actors and everyone within earshot about how what they were doing is so absolutely morally irresponsible, that they were rewarding a murderer with another fifteen minutes of fame and that their presence was an affront to everything John Lennon stood for.

After an exasperated call of "Cut!" a wall of security gaurds appeared....my girlfriend said laughingly, "can't take you anywhere, can we?"...we went over to Strawberry Fields and sang "Hey Jude" with a street musician...yeah, I know it's a Paul song, but the refrain of "Take a sad song and make it better" really stuck with me....rock and roll baby!
