Oh, and yes, Lennon rules; i grew up on the Beatles, it was one of the only things besides classical music that my father would ever allow us all to listen to, so we had "breakfast with the Beatles" every Sunday.

I loved the movie Mr. Holland's Opus when Lennon dies and Mr. Holland's deaf son is wondering what he is so upset about. A big fight ensues, and his son (Coltrane) was furious that his father would ever think that he didn't know who John Lennon was.

Richard Dreyfus signs "Beautiful Boy" toward the end of the movie, I still tear up just THINKING about that scene.

"Before Yoko and I met, we were half a person. You know there's an old myth about people being half and the other half being in the sky, or in heaven or on the other side of the universe or a mirror image. But we are two halves, and together we're a whole."
-John Lennon

Yeah, James (and Ayelet) there is a documentary (1975) entitled "The Other Half of the Sky" about mainland Chinese life... strangely Shirley MacLaine is in it... anyway, it was nominated for an Oscar & a Golden Globe too.

I guess i thought it strange that he was quoting/refering to a Chinese man and married a Japanese woman... i started looking in all the wrong places for this information.

That quote is attributed to Chairman Mao Tse-Tung, btw...

Lately I've been listening to "How?" from the "Imagine" album... Lennon rules!

He says "For the other half of the sky"
