John Lennon lived in NYC for the last years of his life. He worked on his solo material and lived the family life with his wife and child in the Dakota Apartments on the Upper West Side.

LOST: my imagination.
ReplyDeletemy imagination has grown so dull as I've gotten older I remember when i was a kid i could think up and live in entire worlds. i could have fun just playing outside in nature. i didn't require the stimuli of a tv to watch or a video game to play or a computer or an ipod. i was able to entertain myself with just my mind. what happened to that ability to be so amused? it a sad state of affairs.
