Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better.

If you could go back in time and put John and Paul in the right room on the right night with a few bottles of wine, thereby saving John's life, increasing the output of the greatest rock duo ever, and injecting a giant dose of tolerance into the world . . . would you?

I would.

Maybe.

I don't know.

What would the world be like if Brian Epstein never died and if Yoko and John never met? Would The Beatles still be together? I don't think so, but I think they would have at least made it to 75. I think the Disco era would maybe kill them.

But if The Beatles never broke up, or lasted longer than they did, would John have never had his huge solo activism career and pretty much create hippies? Would Mark David Chapmen still have set out to kill him, would he succeed? Or would he have not been known altogether?

My mind is hurting, and a wave of panic is about to wash over me with the thought of no hippies ever and The Beatles just slowly fading away.

Maybe things do happen for a reason.

I do wish John Lennon never died.
