John Lennon's killer denied parole for fifth timeLos Angeles  - Former Beatle John Lennon's killer was denied parole for the fifth time Tuesday, and will remain behind bars for at least two more years.
Mark David Chapman, 53, was denied parole from New York's Attica Correctional Facility because his release "would not be in the best interest of the community" parole board members said in a statement.
Lennon's widow Yoko Ono told the New York Daily News that she had personally asked parole officials to deny Chapman's request. "It's dangerous for him to come out. Not only for us, but for himself."
Chapman will remain in Attica for at least two more years before becoming re-eligible for parole.
He has so far served 27 years of a maximum life sentence, for the December 1980 killing of Lennon outside his Manhattan apartment building. (dpa)

Yeah except that’s not what happened. I never got the opportunity to select a major, I just had 4 years of language study. We never had any classes with Chinese students, and we were actually discouraged from interacting with them for reasons unclear. Reason 2: It might not work outside of China...

"Music's all right John, but you'll never make a living out of it." John Lennon's Aunt Mimi Smith "Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it." "If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'." “I am like a chameleon, influenced by whatever’s going on. If Elvis can do it, I can do it. If the Everly Brothers can do it, me and Paul can. Same with Dylan.” "Before Cliff (Richard) and The Shadows, there had been nothing worth listening to in British music." "Song writing is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're a...
