It’s hard to believe that 30 years have passed since John’s death. It’s even harder to accept the fact that his life was cut so short. One can only imagine the many albums, films, writings and other artistic output the world never got to see. What we did get is truly amazing, as was watching the process of John’s maturation from his first band gigs to his final albums. His intelligence and passion alone would have made the Beatles a successful band, but coupled with the considerable talents of the other three, they were for a time the brightest lights in the universe.
Many of us have visited Strawberry Fields in Central Park. The desire to somehow connect with John and his ideas only seems to get stronger with time. Many of his albums have enjoyed continued sales over the last three decades, and prices for personal memorabilia have skyrocketed. An autographed album cover or photo fetches high bids at auctions. For those of us with normal budgets, there are many items from which to choose: t-shirts, mugs, jackets, calendars, vintage vinyl albums, publicity photos… the list is endless.
