oh, the irony...

"I don't intend to be a performing flea any more. I was the dreamweaver, but although I'll be around I don't intend to be running at 20,000 miles an hour trying to prove myself. I don't want to die at 40."

That was the quote John Lennon once said.  

I can't help but to feel sad about this thing. In this quote he said he don't wanna die at age 40, but he did die at 40.

I don't know, but I can't help but to think about the whole irony of it, and it's sad, really. I feel bad for him. He did die on the most tragic way possible. He died when he started to fix things up, be it with the music, his family life, and even his once wrecked relationship with Paul McCartney.

And that leads me to thinking, what if he didn't die at 40? What if he's still here until now? What would happen? Would it be good? 

How about a Beatles reunion?

Or Another Lennon/McCartney penned song?

Would it be bad?


There so many possible happenings if he was still here, right?
