The third is that Lennon's assassination was a murder, not an emergency like the first view. The murderer made careful arrangements for shooting Lennon. Cox wrote in Time magazine of 198 1: "According to official records, Lennon's death will be called murder. It was an assassination, a deliberate murder that they could not understand. " Cox also cited the following facts to prove the murder: (1) It was later found that Lennon was murdered by a man who was born and lived in Georgia. Chapman, 25, arrived in new york two days before Lennon's murder, stayed at the YMCA nine blocks away from Lennon's farm, and began to wait in front of Lennon's house with many admirers. On Saturday night, Chapman called a taxi and asked the driver to drive to Lorraine Village. On Monday afternoon, Chapman found Lennon and asked him to sign his name. Lennon hastily signed his name. Then he got into a waiting car and went to the recording studio to record. But the night before, Chapman suddenly left the YMCA and moved to a hotel in the center of Sheraton for a big meal, as if to comfort himself in advance in order to achieve something to be proud of. A few hours after Lennon signed Chapman's name, he waited for Lennon again. (2) On the night of February 8, 2008, Chapman waited for Lennon at the door of his apartment. "Mr. Lennon," Chapman called out in the dark. Lennon was about to turn around when Chapman, wearing a black raincoat, suddenly rushed out of the shadows and shot Lennon with a gun. The first bullet quickly penetrated Lennon's chest, and then at least three bullets. When the police caught him, they found a commemorative album signed by Lennon on him. Lennon was not shot by the murderer because he refused to sign the photo. The killer has other intentions. However, Cox did not explain why Chapman wanted to kill Lennon. Some people speculate that Chapman may be a paranoid or hysterical patient. These people can't control their behavior after getting emotional or getting something.
Fourthly, some people in the art world think that the main reason why Lennon was shot is his artistic practice and ideas. Lennon and his collaborators know very well that the swing music they are engaged in is an applied art with great adventure and rich feelings, and the songs they create will make more people oppose the joy and unrestrained of swing music than anything else ... >>
