Happy Birthday to John Lennon

Happy Birthday to John Lennon who would have been 72 today. I'll raise a glass of scotch & have a cigar today in tribute to one of the greatest musicians of our time. RIP John & know that your music will live on forever.

I knew it was his birthday today but it sort of felt odd hearing that it would have been his 72nd birthday.

72....hard to believe he'd be that old.
Such a shame he was taken tragically....

RIP John a true pioneer. Gone much too early. But I wish you would've blessed us with a few more years of some Beatle Post counterculture music.

12/8/80 really hurt, almost physically. I would love to have seen what he would have done with another 32 years.
