JOHN LENNON ASSASSINATION

It was twenty-five (!) years ago today that former Beatle John Lennon was assassinated in New York City outside of his apartment building. John is remembered as a creative (sometimes controversial) songwriter, poet, and performer. Even after he left The Beatles, he continued to produce memorable songs and lyrics. Many critics would agree that Imagine is the song that most often pops to mind when John Lennon is mentioned.

Several books came out this year about John Lennon that are available at the Elk Grove Library:
