Well, right from the onset I was sold on wanting to check out this exhibit just from reading the title; now my only hope is that it'll still be up mid-June when we go back to NYC for the Kev Smith/Carnegie Hall event. This will definitely be a highlight.
A little info:
A New York exhibit centered around the life of John Lennon will feature a paper bag filled with the late singer's bloody clothes from the day of his death,handwritten lyrics, guitars, the piano from his apartment, a pair of "his trademark wire-rimmed glasses," and letters recounting his battle against deportation in the 70s.
Widow Yoko Ono, who said she feared "criticism" for the exhibit, also said, "I know it's a kind of a sad and very poignant kind of paradox, I think, that he loved this place so much and this where he was killed."
