Dear bastards, knaves and miscreants.
This song always makes me tear up.
I have not been able to listen to it once in 20 years without shedding tears and I have no idea why.
There's something existentially terrifying about it to me. I think its because I always appreciated the brilliant talent of John Lennon and realize that he was killed 10 days and 30 years ago on the way into his apartment with his darling wife by a semi-psychotic loser for no understandable reason. I think it also has to do with the whispered exchange of love between John and Yoko that you can just barely hear at the beginning of the track. I never consciously heard it before now. That's so strange. You can hear how much Yoko meant to John and that they were snatched away from each other so cruelly by a random act of violence by a garden variety nutjob idiot.
Anyway, I hope you have a nice week. It's 7 days until Christmas. Hug your kids, kiss your wife, give some sage advice to your idiot nephews, be a man for the next 7 days because there's people who depend on you.
That's all I got. Merry Christmas.
