John Lennon had his good sides and his bad sides. He put out some good music along the way. The Beatles were grrrreat!!
It is a tragedy that he was cut down right in front of where he lived, and his future music was silenced.
Who knows what he would have done? He had some weird, freaky ways about him, so maybe he would have been a wacked out guy forever, but he should have been able to live out his life.
 

True, he could have been a complete whack job by now, but then we could have just elected him to office somewhere... ;-)
 

I thought about his family all day. Yeah, he could've given the world more music, but who cares? He was taken away from his wife and his children.

I didn't realize he was only 40 years old. Any age is too young to be murdered, but it really is just insane to take someone's life like that.
