John Lennon would have been 70 today

October 9, 2010 by Chris

I wonder what John Lennon would have done for his birthday if Mark David Chapman had not taken the heart and soul of a generation from us on that Monday December 8th 1980 @ 10:55 PM?

It’s wild just to think about what John Lennon would be doing, as a modern day artisan, if he was with us today.

I think that he’d be a rather hard working multi-media god.

He could have created some of his magical music right in the comfort of his Dakota apartment and then released it on iTunes or some other site. He could have produced fabulous digital art for art galleries or for sale. He’d more than likely have a blog to use as a soapbox to bring us his message about his comments on society. He might even have had a Twitter account, who knows?

What do you think John Lennon would be doing to celebrate his birthday if he were alive today?

Keep in Jammin’

A guitar coffin, really?

September 6, 2009 by Chris

For all you die hard guitarist’s out there, here is something that may or may not have entered into your mind at least once. The guitar coffin is an idea from the people at Crazy Coffins in the UK. I just came across this thing, really. It’s not like I’m actively looking for this kinda stuff!

I really don’t know what to think about this … coffin thing?

Mr. James Morrison is Dead

September 24, 2007 by Chris

I was just reading an interesting article in our Maclean’s Magazine today called “Jim’s Fireman“. It was in the Aug. 13th/07 edition.

17ruebeautreillis.jpg It talks about the fire chief who arrived at 17 rue Beautreillis in the Marais district of Paris on July 3rd, 1971, who pronounced “Mr. James Morrison Dead”. Now that’s just not your average statement.

The article lightly talks about the call that was dispatched to him, what happened after it and how it still effects his life to this day.

Keep on Jammin’
