John Lennon was such a great dude. As sad as his assassination was, what made it even sadder for me was when I learned this many years after it happened: Earlier in the day before Mark David Chapman shot him, he was stalking Lennon outside of his apartment building. Lennon saw Chapman with a copy of of his latest album "Double Fantasy" in his hand, so he shook his hand and autographed his record. A photographer happened to be present at the moment, and snapped this iconic picture of the two together. Lennon may not have been a saint, but who is? To the end he was a fundamentally decent human being.

BTW, shouldn't the video title say "I Met The Walrus", i.e., the title of the film?

oops! fixed.
