ForeignRS took the words right out of my mouth.

Mike Reid always used to play a Beatles tune every morning when he did the Radio 1 breakfast show and that was when I turned over to Radio Forth.

Didn't deserve to get shot, though.

fookin legend imo

without him and the beatles music wouldnt be what it is today. every band aspires to be as big and as clever a them.

white album is the best album ever done.

how anyone can say they are overrated when in another 30 years time kids all around the world will probably still be buying there albums.

R.I.P john

andy - top pics mate, always wanted to go out there and see all that

How many time over Christmas does the pub you are drinking in play Hey Jude and every fooker is wasted arm in arm singing along?

Kinda cool I reckon

Great loss to music

The fact someone got shot is sad but the fact that it was a hippie does give it some justification

The main man of my generation, glad to have seen him perform live.
Talked more sense in a few lines of a song than all the world leaders at the time. If your young you just cant understand his impact, helped bigtime to stop the Vietnam war, fortunately his music lives on. RIP & thanks John.
