This had to be one of the most ironic experiences I had in the last year. I was in Central Park, and was relaxing in the solemn atmosphere of Strawberry Fields, which is a few hundred feet away from the front of the Dakota where John Lennon was killed. There was a musician there, who played well, and people were enjoying it. Then this other guy shows up with his electric guitar and starts playing imagine, and the first guy loses it, yelling at him and ripping his amp cord in half. I quietly hummed "Give peace a chance" and photographed the event. (This seemed to cool things down. I actually used my camara on a couple of occasion to get people to behave. It works)
Watching these two guys fight over who gets to promote peace reminded me of what a confusing and complex place America, and New York City, can be.
