John Lennon - IMAGINE
John Lennon
In his Icon New York City T-Shirt
Former Beatle John Lennon loved New York, So much so that he made it his home. Moving into the famed Dakota apartment building on West 72nd Street in New York. He moved in with his wife Yoko Ono in 1971. Yoko gave birth to their son Sean Ono Lennon on John's birth date on October 9, 1975. Yes John Lennon and his son shared the same birth date of October 9th.
Tragically John Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman in front of his beloved New York home (The Dakota) at 5 PM on December 8th 1980. Naturally most of the World mourned the loss of the former Beatle John Lennon's. I can remember the time very well. I was still living in New Jersey and in college at New York Technical College in Brooklyn. It was a Monday Night, and the height of Monday Night Football. I was watching the football game and having a couple drinks with my friends at the VFW in Carlstadt, NJ. I left before the end of the game, got into my car and was driving home to Summit Street. I had just pulled out of the parking lot and had only driven one block when I heard the tragic news on my car radio, when it broadcast a Monday Night Football over the radio and Howard Cossell announced that, "An unspeakable tragedy, confirmed to us by ABC News in New York City. John Lennon, outside his of his apartment building on the West Side of New York City. The most famous perhaps of all of The Beatles, shot twice in the back. Rushed to Roosevelt Hospital. Dead on Arrival. Hard to go back to the game, after that news flash, which in duty we had to report."
Cossell : "In case the folks missed the earlier news flash, ABC New has confirmed that John Lennon, a member of the famed Beatles. Maybe the best known member, was shot twice in the back, outside his apartment building on the West Side of New York tonight. Rushed to the New York Roosevelt Hospital, Dead on Arrival. An unspeakable tragedy. Details on Nightline, 30 minutes after this contest."
I could hardly believe my ears. I was shocked. I continued to drive home. Parked my car and ran upstairs to my apartment. I immediately got on the phone and called my brother Jimmy, and told him the sad news. We were big fans of The Beatles and especially of John. A senseless, stupid act by a moronic idiot Mark David Chapman. Why? Just to gain some notoriety? "What a No Good Moronic Bastard," is all I can say. And I must say it.I went to school the next day. Classes at New York Technical College on Jay Street Brooklyn. As I've said, I was still living in New Jersey, and I got on the # 35 Bus to take me to the Porth Authority Bus Terminal, where I went donwstairs and into the New York City Subway System to catch the A Train to Jay Street / Borough Hall, Brooklyn to get to school, 3 blocks away. I attened my classes, then got on another A Train out of Brooklyn to Manhattan, but I didn't leave the subway system their. I got off the A Train at 42nd Street and waited on the platform for a C Train to arrive on the local track. One came a few minutes later, and I hopped on to take to West 72nd Street where I got out. I got off the C Train and walked up the stairs and on to West 72nd Street, but not before emerging from the station, I could already hear the sound of people singing one of John's famous songs, "Give Peace a Chance."
When I walked up out of the subway and onto West 72nd Street, I saw a sea of humanity, hundreds of people out on the street in front of the Dakota where John Lennon had made his home with his wife Yoko and son Sean, and the day before he had been gunned down at the place where he lived in his beloved adopted city of New York.
The crowd started singing what had become John's Anthem song "Imagine," and I joined in, sing with a couple hundred people paying tribute to one of their heroes, the great John Lennon, who Imagined and just wanted the World to Give Peace a Chance. We salute you John, and your memory lives on, and we thank you for all you did. May you Rest in Peace Brother John.

The METS SUCK
New York $3 PBR Beer Dive Bars NYC
$3 PBR Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer
Copyright 2008 Daniel Bellino Zwicke
PLACES To GET A $3.00 PBR in NEW YORK
BLUE & GOLD BAR in the East Village, on East 7th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues. Blue & Gold has long been a favorite of mine ever since I lived in the East Village from 1982 to 1994. It's just a cool ol normal old style bar with a pool table, standard 50's 60's Bar Decor, and Best-of-All $3.00 PBR'S and $6.00 Cocktails. I love it.7B a.k.a. The Horseshoe Bar, also in the East Village, a bastion of cheap and fare prices in Manhattan and Land of The $3.00 PBR and other $3 and $4 Beers. 7B is located on the corner of Avenue B at 7th Street, hence the name "7B" ... The nickname Horseshoe Bar comes from the shape and dimensions of the bar, "Horseshoe Shaped." The bar has been the setting of numerous movie shoots, including the scene in Godfather II when Frankie Pantangeli (Frankie 5 Angels) goes to this bar for a meeting with the Rosato Brothers, and Danny Aiello raps a Piano-Wire around his neck. A scene from Crocodile Dundee and other movies as well .... But Best of all, at 7B they serve $3.00 Beers, cheap drinks, and they have a photo and sell Potato Chips and Pretzels which practically no bars in Manhattan ever do any more. And this is a good thing when you get the munchies from the Beer. Glory Hallelujah, thank God for 7B ..
RUDY'S ... 627 9th Avenue "HELL'S KITCHEN" NEW YORK NY, between 44th & 45th Streets ... Pitchers of BEER for Only $8.00 & FREE HOT-DOGS .. $3 Pints of RUDY'S BLONDE LAGER

Bye Bye Odell Beckham Jr NY GIANTS
"BYE BYE ODELL" !!! "You Won't Be Missed"
Not by This Guy, nor a Couple Million other Giant Fans who felt as I did, that Odell Beckham Jr. was a Over Rated, Over Paid, disruptive Diva, and the New York Football Giants will be much better off without him and the ridiculously insane salary they were going to pay him 93 Million Dollars over 5 years. T,hank goodness the Giants came to their senses, realized that Odell's Cons far out weighed his Pros, they figured they'd be better off without him and his high-priced salary, no more distractions with Odell's ridiculous antics and the Giants can get back to Winning again.
Bye Bye Odell, good luck. and Giants fans might look forward to having a winning season this year after thee Two Worst Seasons in New York Giant History. The Giants were Pitiful and embarrassing. Let's put all that behind us, and do what the Giants do best when they're in their Groove, and that winning NFL Football games.
Basta !
PS ... Thanks again to the Giants for drafting Saquon Barkely last year. And Thank You Saquon for treating Giant fans to a superb Rookie Season. You were one of the few shining stars in a horrible season for the NY Giants. I was hoping the Goants would draft, and they did. And I was hoping you'd have a good year, as though college football players often play very well in college, their talents don't always translate well to the NFL, but you did, and had a remarkable Rookie Season (Rookie of The Year). Bravo Saquon.

The KNICKS SUCK !
AM I MAKING MYSELF CLEAR ?
The NEW YORK KNICKS SUCK
.
THIS TEAM Was GREAT
The 1969 /70 WORLD CHAMPION NEW YORK KNICKS
This TEAM SUCKS !!!
So BIG TIME IT ISN'T EVEN FUNNY
The 2018 /19 NEW YORK KNICKS Basketball Team
"THEY'RE PITIFUL" !!!
KNICKS RECORD 2017 -2018 Season 29 WINS 53 LOST "BAD" 2016 - 2017 Season 31 WINS 51 LOST "PRETTY Fing BAD" 2014 -2015 Season 17 WINS 65 LOST "SUCKS" As of January 30, 2019 the Knicks record so far for the 2018 / 19 Seaso is10 Wins & 40 Losses, "That Fucking Sucks!" The KNICKS SUCK so Bad it isn't even funny, and not just this year. Look at their "PISS POOR" Record in the past few years? This team is Pitiful, and collectively for the last 5 Years "The Worst NY KNICKS Team" in the history of the frachise. Thhey "Fucking Suck" ! Am I making myself clear here? The KNICKS SUCK !!! The loyal fans do not deserve this. I've heard of teams being bad, but this is rediculous. At this point in the season with a disgustingly HORRIBLE win loss recor of 10 Wins and 40 Losses the Knicks are on pace to have the Worst Record in New York Knickerbocker History if the finish with a record of 15 Wins & 67 Losses or worse which the current Knicks are on pace to do. "They Suck." And I really don't care that much, I'm not really a fan of NBA Basketball, which I think SUCKS, I'd much rather watch College Basketball which as an overall experience of watching better basketball games and overall feel of basketball, the experience of watching premier college basketball is superior than watching any NBA game at all, which to me and a multitude of others just quite simply sucks, just like the Knicks, who of all NBA Teams, the Knicks Suck the most. As a proud New York, it's one thing to have a Professional New York Sports Team have one or two bad seasons, but this team has been pretty dam bad for the past 5 year or so. In fact, guess what? They "Suck."When is PORZY Coming Back ?
Kristap Porkingis has been one of the few Bright Lights for the Knicks in the past few years. Only Problem? He's been injured and not playing for more than a year now. When is he coming back?
Bill Bradley
Back when the Knicks were great. Bill Bradley played on a great Knick team with the likes of players like; Walt "Clyde" Frazier, Willis Reed, Dave DeBusschere, Cazzie Russell, Dick Barnett, Dave Stallworth, and Mike Riordn. The won the NBA Championship in 1969 / 1970 , with a season record of 60 Wins against 22 losses. The 1972 / 73 Knicks had a record of W 57 - L 25 and Wond The NBA Champiships again under Coach Red Holtzman again. They still had Walt Frazier, Willis Red, Bill Bradley, Dick Barnett, and Dave DeBusschere, but this time with the additon of the Awesome Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, Dean "The Dream" Meminger, Jerry Lucas, and Phil Jackson.Oh by The WAY "The GIANTS SUCK" Too !!!!
2018 NY GIANTS - WINS 5 - LOSSES 11 "They SUCK" But not quite as Bad as 2018 2017 NY GIANTS 3 WINS 13 LOSSES "THEY SUCK" WORST GIANT TEAM EVER !!!ELI & SAQUON
SAQUON Was GREAT !!!
ELI ???
Runningback Saquon Barkely was a very Bright Star for the New York Giants this year. He had a phenominal Rookie Season gaining more than 2,000 Yards Total Offense Ruuning and Pass Recieving, the most any Rookie Runningback has ever gained in the History of The NFL .The BADASS COOKBOOK
