December 8 will be forty years to the day since John Lennon was fatally shot and murdered by Mark David Chapman. The 40th anniversary of his untimely passing means that in two months time, he will have unfortunately been dead for as long as he had been alive for. He was only 40 years old when he had his life cut so short. Since the anniversary is so close and he has left such a rich legacy that deserves to be kept alive, I thought it would worthwhile to create a general discussion thread about him as an artist/person. I know we've got a few Beatles fans on here. We could talk about anything relating to his solo career, what our favourite songs of his are, what he would have been like had he lived on etc. Basically, just anything to do with him!

My favourite solo release of his would have to be "Instant Karma". Generally, i'm more of a fan of the output he released while as a member of The Beatles rather than the releases he put out after the breakup, but that being said, I haven't actually listened to any of his solo albums in full before.
It would be interesting to know what John Lennon would have thought of MTV and the internet. Of course, no one can honestly say for sure what would have happened had he lived longer, but I've got a feeling that he would have still been campaigning for peace and social activism right into his old age. I could see him even posting things on a social media platform like Twitter.
