Imagine: John Lennon's 80th Birthday!

“We honour John Lennon as the composer of an entire library of
great songs, and we mourn him as an emblematic martyr to the
darker side of contemporary celebrity culture… John Lennon was a
profoundly flawed human being in any number of ways, but, damaged
as he was, his greatest gift was his ability to speak so directly
to our dreams.”       Charles Shaar
