Getting the full picture

I have seen this photo going around a lot lately with Yoko cropped out.   I thought everyone might appreciate seeing the complete photograph.   I don't know about you, but I really hate photos that have someone cropped out of them.

Remembering John

Photo taken by Hiroshi Yasunaga

We remember John Lennon as so many different things.  He was one of the Beatles,  a songwriter, a musician, a rock n roller, a teddy boy.   John was a lad from Liverpool.   He was a New Yorker.   He was a peace activist.  He was a protester.  He was a dreamer.   John Lennon was an author and an artist.  He was a funny guy.  He was smart.  He was serious.   John was a friend.

One thing often gets overlooked:  John Lennon was a husband and a Father.   When he was murdered, Yoko became a widow and Sean no longer had a Daddy.    Today I want to remember John as a Dad that would wear flip-flops while riding a bike with his toddle strapped to seat in the back while on vacation in Japan. 

He's got a ticket to ride (err..fly)

Four lovely lads

Beatles caps

Almost as soon as The Beatles arrived in the United States, the fans began wearing "John" caps.  Here are some colorful Beatles caps that were made available in 1964.   They must have become even more popular when photographs of The Beatles wearing them were published!
