Imagina que no existe el Cielo
es fácil si lo intentas
sin el Infierno debajo nuestro
arriba nuestro, solo el cielo
Imagina a toda la gente
viviendo el hoy...
Imagina que no hay países
no es difícil de hacer
nadie por quien matar o morir
ni tampoco religión
imagina a toda la gente
viviendo la vida en paz...
Puedes decir que soy un soñador
pero no soy el único
espero que algún día te unas a nosotros
y el mundo vivirá como uno
Imagina que no hay posesiones
quisiera saber si puedes
sin necesidad de gula o hambre
una hermandad de hombres
imagínate a toda la gente
compartiendo el mundo
John Lennon.

Can't go to Liverpool without doing a report on The Cavern & Mathew Street & all things Beatlesque, can I? Mathew Street, location of both the original Cavern Club & its replicated version on the opposite side of the narrow street is, of course, a primary tourist destination. The original, the cellar of a warehouse at 10 Mathew Street, was closed down way back in the '70's. For 2 decades the only way in or out of this music haven was a very narrow very steep staircase down into the low-ceilinged concrete cellar. In its hey-day, there would be 100's of people down there, smoking allowed, a fire trap if ever there was one. No way out except that one narrow staircase.
While I was still living in Liverpool, a young teenager dancing in The Cavern, the original Beatles (no Ringo yet) were the houseband. They got to play when there was no guest band booked, Nobody took much notice really. Brian Epstein hadn't walked down those stairs yet. Hadn't started the wheel of destiny turning for a bunch of talented young Liverpool lads in blue jeans & leather jackets. That it came to pass that there's hardly a corner of the earth that hasn't heard of them has always been mind-boggling to one who was there at the very beginning.
image : this life-sized bronze statue of John ( longshot below) stands on Mathew Street, as if quietly contemplating where it all began across the way. People just love to have their pic taken beside John mimicking his pose. Strangely, this beautiful work has no artist's credit...not on or near the piece itself nor have I been able to find reference to the artist in any of the many google searches I've done. Some flickr posts have given credit to Liverpool sculptor Arthur Dooley but there is no statement of that fact in his biography or anywhere else (Dooley does have another small bronze piece of the Four Lads, with credit, on the wall above the Cavern's original location.) It's a puzzle! My current 'guess' is that Yoko Ono donated it......but with the proviso that she remain anonymous. Well, why not ? She is a mysterious one after all. *~*
John Lennon's music inspired the young artist's of Prague and the Czech republic to paint this once plain wall with colourful graffiti.
More info re his murder etc in 1980 can be found on the website. John's name can be seen in the bottom of the right hand corner.

Under the rainbow of love, they look so happy together. And yet he's wondering - "If we sleep together will you be my friend forever?"
I am lucky to live a short walk away from this unique wall in the city of Prague. When I saw the Flickr Friday theme this week my first thought was to go there for a few colourful shots. I hope you like them!
More information on the wall from Wikipedia is as follows:
The Lennon Wall, or John Lennon Wall, is a wall in Prague, Czech Republic. Once a normal wall, since the 1980s it has been filled with John Lennon-inspired graffiti and pieces of lyrics from Beatles' songs.
In 1988, the wall was a source of irritation for the communist regime of Gustáv Husák. Young Czechs would write grievances on the wall and in a report of the time this led to a clash between hundreds of students and security police on the nearby Charles Bridge. The movement these students followed was described ironically as "Lennonism" and Czech authorities described these people variously as alcoholics, mentally deranged, sociopathic, and agents of Western capitalism.
The wall continuously undergoes change and the original portrait of Lennon is long lost under layers of new paint. Even when the wall was repainted by some authorities, on the second day it was again full of poems and flowers. Today, the wall represents a symbol of global ideals such as love and peace.
The wall is owned by the Knights of Malta, who allowed the graffiti to continue on the wall, and is located at Velkopřevorské náměstí (Grand Priory Square), Malá Strana.
R2065. The station at Lennon, a small village in western Brittany, France. As was so often the case, the station was located some distance from the village – it was 2½ km away.
Lennon was on the Réseau Breton, a metre gauge system that had a number of lines in western Brittany radiating from a central hub at Carhaix.
The train on the right is headed by one of the 0-6-6-0 Mallet Tank engines that were a feature of the Réseau Breton.
Sadly, scenes such as this are now history as the narrow gauge system was closed down in 1967; however, many of the station buildings still exist in private hands either as residential or commercial properties.

John Lennon
9 October 1940 - 8 December 1980
John Lennon, ‘Instant Karma’, 1970. A hit for Lennon while the Beatles were still officially a band. Produced by Phil Spector who used his full bag of tricks for a lush production. Shine on.
Il muro di Lennon.
Durante l’ultima parte del regime comunista, negli anni ’80, gli studenti di Praga utilizzarono questo muro per dipingere dei graffiti ispirati alle canzoni dei Beatles. Il muro è proprietà del Sovrano militare ordine di Malta, il quale ben accetta che il muro venga utilizzato da chi vuole lasciare la propria testimonianza. Tuttavia nel 25° anniversario della rivoluzione di velluto, alcuni studenti d’arte ridipinsero il muro di bianco eccetto la frase “Wall is over” (il muro è finito), togliendo di fatto i vecchi graffiti venendo denunciati dai cavalieri di Malta.
Lennon Wall.
During the last decade of the communist regime, in the 80’s, Prague students used this wall to paint graffiti inspired from the Beatles’ songs. The wall is privately owned by the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, which accepts that anyone wants to leave their impression on the wall. However in the 25th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution the old graffiti were painted over with white paint by some art students, leaving only the text “Wall is over”, so they had to face a criminal complaint by the Knights of Malta.
