- Dear
John,
-
- My
name is Anna and I'm 20 year old student from Brazil.
It's been a time since I heard your voice in the
records of my parents and on the radio - seemed that
you were always on my home for the holidays, since
"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" was as certain as turkey
and relatives with presents. So, when this chance to
write to you came up, I didn't want to lose it. There
is lots of things I would like to tell you, and here
are the most important.
-
- I
want to thank you for one thing you don't know you
did. I want to thank you for my life. You must be
wondering what this means, well, it all starts with my
parents.
-
- The
Beatles united my parents through thick and thin - the
best times of their engagement days, the rough moments
of a newly-wed life without much money, the bliss of
the birth of their daughters - me and my sisters
Tereza, Beatriz and Luiza.
-
- And
your songs - both with your band and as a solo artist
- put them together, made they remember who they were
and what they were actually fighting for. They will
comemorate the 25th anniversary this year, and I
already have the soundtrack for the occasion - I'll
play "(Just Like) Starting Over" for them.
-
- True
love never dies - so all I can say is... shine on,
Johnny, shine on forever!
-
- All
the best,
-
Anna
