    Very insensitive Slip.
    I cried this morning in my car, listening to the news, and old Beatles'songs.
    I still cry thinking about the senseless death of John Lennon.

    I turned the radio on this morning (Minnesota Public Radio KNOW 91.1) and heard "My Sweet Lord" being played and I guessed immediately (it is a news channel) what had happened.

    Very sad and too nice a guy to lose.

    A sad day no doubt. I long for yesterday.

    Youthful insensitivity aside, it's obvious George was a spiritual person and one of several artists who deeply affected my life.

    Despite Hare Krishna and mystic overtones, "My Sweet Lord"' echoed my longing to "see" him. Humming that tune in field service, despite its obvious un-Witness wording, I identified with the desire to understand God.

    I will certainly miss George.

    On our eighth wedding anniversary in 1971, my wife and I went to a tiny pizza parlour in Arkansas. . .

    Pioneers, serving where the "need was great", we had enough money for two slices of pizza and two soft drinks. I agonized about spending another quarter on the juke box. Oh well, what's money?

    The song?

    Isn't It a Pity?

    "Isn't it a pity
    Now, isn't it a shame
    How we break each other's hearts
    And cause each other pain
    How we take each other's love
    Without thinking anymore
    Forgetting to give back
    Isn't it a pity

    Some things take so long
    But how do I explain
    When not too many people
    Can see we're all the same
    And because of all their tears
    Their eyes can't hope to see
    The beauty that surrounds them
    Isn't it a pity

    Isn't it a pity
    Isn't is a shame
    How we break each other's hearts
    And cause each other pain
    How we take each other's love
    Without thinking anymore
    Forgetting to give back
    Isn't it a pity

    Forgetting to give back
    Isn't it a pity
    Forgetting to give back
    Now, isn't it a pity"
