I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that it's been 26 years since John was taken, far too young.

CBC:

Yoko Ono has placed a full-page ad in the New York Times calling upon the world to mark the anniversary of her husband John Lennon's death as a day of healing for those who have suffered violence or war.

"Know that the physical and mental abuse you have endured will have a lingering effect on our society.... Know that your loss is our loss.... Know that the burden is ours," wrote the 73-year-old artist. "Forgive us."

How heartbreakingly tragic it is that the video for this song could be updated and three decades later, it is still hopeful, it is still true and it is still unfulfilled.
