Whatsoever Wednesday

According to a man who's been "on the case" since the death of John Lennon, Stephen King is really the man responsible for John's murder in 1980.

Steve Lightfoot, a California native, is convinced that Stephen King shot John Lennon. Not only that, but Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and various police departments were in on it too. Lightfoot even attended a Sarasota City Commission meeting in February of 2009 to rant about how King is "the worst criminal the state has ever harbored" - King owns a home in nearby Casey Key.



He swears he has the evidence to prove it if only people would listen. The evidence consists of "government codes" in magazines and the fact that he believes Mark David Chapman was really a hired lookalike to help King get away with the crime.

He once spent several months in Bangor, Maine hanging around the outside of King's main residence, gaining some media attention as a celebrity stalker.

King obviously was not the man who killed John Lennon, though he is a fan. His popular novel, The Shining, was inspired by the Lennon song "Intant Karma" and was originally titled "The Shine". When King learned that the term "the shine" was derogatory to black people, he changed it to "The Shining". We all shine on..
