Hey guys, I've always given this some thought;
What if it had been McCartney who had been murdered in front of his home instead, would the world be impacted by his sudden death like that of John Lennon's?
It's basically kinda like, was Paul AS influential as John or not? I've always preferred John, for sure, but Paul wrote some masterful moments for The Beatles, no doubt - Hey Jude, Let it Be, Yesterday, Eleanor Rigby, etc.
But yes, RIP John Lennon.
