"The Dylan / Lennon Dream"

Went to sleep last night thinking about the day's events. 79th anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day. 79 year old BOB DYLAN'S historical sale of his songs (see yesterday's blog). And, how my blog yesterday tied in Dylan and JOHN LENNON, who was slain 40 years ago this very day. 

All of this resulted in a strange dream...more like a NIGHTMARE, in fact. But here it is, for what it's worth.

It started with DYLAN. Crowds of people were praising him for his "smarts," the way he cashed in on his songs at the end of his life.  No one called him a "sellout," or implied that he was "only in it for the money," after all of this time. "That's because there was no HYPOCRISY in Dylan," I thought. "To my knowledge, he didn't write any songs condemning materialism or promoting Socialism. In short, he never said it would BE wrong to cash in....(or maybe 'cash OUT' is a better way to put it). No one can say the guy contradicted his own words, in other words."

I was then, in my dream, urging Dylan to GET RIGHT WITH GOD, that money couldn't save his soul. 

However, I was a lone voice. Dylan was preoccupied with those praising his business acumen.

Then, there was a sign that a silent man in the crowd held up. It had a photo of LENNON on it, but no wording, no message. 

In my head, not out loud, I began to formulate a message..."Lennon DID preach anti-materialism in his songs, he DID sing Imagine no possessions and it lead to an obsessed, mentally disturbed fan viewing him as a hypocrite and want to KILL him for it, when he learned of the WEALTH that Lennon accumulated."  (Even though this was in a dream, I'm not going to repeat the killer's NAME lest it increase his FAME but if you don't know his name, and want to know, look it up on Wiki).

"Lennon WAS a hypocrite about that, but what the assassin did was EVIL. Lennon sang IMAGINE NO POSSESSIONS and he had obscene LOADS of them!! But the greatest possession any of us have is our eternal, immortal soul."

And then, in my dream, it occurred to me. The miscreant who killed Lennon 40 years ago today was married to a Japanese woman, just like Lennon was.

He came to the States from HAWAII, where Pearl Harbor is, to stalk John. And the killer slew Lennon the day after Pearl Harbor Day via a SNEAK ATTACK..........just like Pearl Harbor.

What did it all mean?? I don't know, I don't know. Woke up, had my coffee. HOW many days till Christmas??
