    Watched the performance on my tv and started crying, watched it every once in a while until now and still crying. Not only because John is not here anymore to encourage us to love one another, but because the dream of the world he describes is everytime harder and harder to get.
    If someone is reading this, I appreciate you for being a dreamer and believe on this incredible man.

It's been tough in recent times about the world we live in and it's hard not to get emotional through this performance. It was great they did this at the Closing ceremony. His music will live on forever.

    Some people only come once in a lifetime. John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury and so many others who contributed to music, film, art, literature and other areas, they'll never come again. Some of us are lucky enough to appreciate having lived in a time where these great people walked the Earth because they are irreplaceable. I mean, there might come a great songwriter in the future, but there can only be one John Lennon.

    No matter how many years pass since John's death, the impact of losing such a brilliant mind and beautiful soul still stings as much now as it did then. I wish I could've had even five minutes to sit with John and talk. Hearing John's singing mixed in with modern covers always brings goosebumps to my skin because, although I know it's a simple dubbing of his recording over the singers, it's almost as if he's brought back to us for that tiny period of time. I don't like the Olymics, but I love John's work (just as I love Paul McCartney's, George Harrison's, and Ringo Starr's work). This really touched me, and I had to leave a short commemorative word for John.

      ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​@@user-vr6mh1zf2z 존 레논이 살아있었을때 존 레논의 음악이 냉전과 베트남 전쟁의 종전에 얼마나 큰 영향을 줬는지 알고 얘기하는 거임? 존 레논의 광범위한 음악적 영향력은 그의 생사와 상관없음.
      또한 욕먹을 짓 많이 하고 다녔던 사람 맞지만 그만큼 자기 혐오와 후회를 거듭하며 계속 성장하려고 노력했던 사람이었던건 그의 노래들로도 알 수 있음. 존 레논이 계속 살아있었다면 물론 자기 의견을 숨기는걸 못하는 양반이니 여전히 좌충우돌을 겪을 것 같긴 하지만 적어도 세간에서 기대하는 악마적인 모습은 아닐거라고 생각함.
