Imagine John, you would be 70 today!

John Winston Ono Lennon (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English singer-songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as one of the founding members of The Beatles and, with Paul McCartney, formed one of the most successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century.

Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon became involved in the skiffle craze as a teenager, his first band, The Quarrymen, evolving into The Beatles in 1960. As the group began to undergo the disintegration that led to their break-up towards the end of that decade, Lennon launched a solo career that would span the next, punctuated by critically acclaimed albums, including John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine".

Happy imagined 70th birthday, John!

On my friend Eddi´s blog I found this great tip;
"To celebrate his birthday, visit the Imagine Peace Tower, a virtualized version of the one that Yoko Ono constructed in Iceland last year. Light shows go off every 20 minutes."
