Hitch Has Departed

Hitch died on Thursday. No more, "To Be". He'll be missed. Fortunately, there is a lot of footage available to view him in action... you know - like when you're in the mood for a reality check. Below is a good clip to get a feel for how he expressed what he believed:

Imagine?

Is it just me, or what? Dolly's version of "Imagine" just doesn't have the same effect as when I listen to John sing the lyrics to his powerful song, It's too much of a stretch for me to imagine Dolly ever embracing a world with no countries, no religion and no possessions - especially the no religion part.

Lennon met his death on Dec 8, 1980, so I felt it was appropriate today to acknowledge his contribution to music and the arts. Parton has also made a significant contribution to music, as well, and some of her songs really do resonate - but for me ~ not when she tries to interpret John Lennon. You decide:
