33 años sin John Lennon
Hoy hace 33 años que un "iluminado" nos dejó sin una persona que "imagine" un mundo sin fronteras.
Alrededor de las 10:50 pm del 8 de diciembre de 1980, poco después de que Lennon y Ono volvieran al Dakota, el apartamento de Nueva York donde vivían, Mark David Chapman ,a quien Lennon le había autografiado una copia del álbum Double Fantasy, y quien esperaba en el Lobby junto al portero de reemplazo José Sanjenis Perdomo, disparó contra Lennon por la espalda cinco veces en la entrada al edificio (Sanjenis Perdomo fue quien lo acusó y el único testigo del hecho). Fue llevado a la sala de emergencia del cercano Hospital Roosevelt y fue declarado muerto a su llegada a las 11:20 pm.
Al día siguiente, Ono emitió una declaración, diciendo: «No hay funeral para John». Ono concluyó su declaración con las palabras, «John amaba y rezaba por la raza humana. Por favor, recen por lo mismo». Su cuerpo fue incinerado en el Cementerio Ferncliff en Hartsdale, Nueva York. Ono esparció sus cenizas en el Central Park de Nueva York, donde más tarde se creó el monumento conmemorativo Strawberry Fields. Chapman se declaró culpable por asesinato en segundo grado y fue condenado a cadena perpetua en prisión; actualmente aún permanece en la cárcel, después de haberle sido negada en repetidas ocasiones la libertad condicional.
