    I was in Caphouse colliery baths when I heard on the 5.00am news.
    JOHN LENNON IS DEAD.
    Imagine what might have been.

    You're a day early. Lennon was shot just before 11pm New York Time on December 8th which was about 4am here on December 9th. So you would have heard the news headlines at 5am on the 9th.

    Paul McCartney would have disagreed about a 24 hour difference. Suddenly he wouldn't have been half the man he used to be.

    The waves of shock around those baths must have been palpable.

    They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
    They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool
    Til you’re so fu****g crazy you can’t follow their rules
