It's John Lennon's birthday today.
Due to the significance of this day in Rock and Roll history the usual Hills Top 40 Pops list will not be seen. It will be back the next post.
I really don't know where to begin on this one.
I grew up with The Beatles.
Was only seven years old when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Saw that and they have been my favorite group to this day.
I still remember Christmas 1965.
One of the presents I opened was the Beatle's latest album "Help".
Have no recollection of any of the other presnts Santa brought me that day - that was one of those great moments I never forgot. (still have that LP.)
I loved all the Beatles but John was my favorite.
You knew he was the leader. His wit was sharp as a razor. He was cool.
Read his book "In His Own Write and A Spaniard In the Works". Totally Hilarious. Still have the book.
This was not just a great song writer with one of the greatest voices in rock and roll hiistory.
JOHN LENNON WAS AN ORIGINAL
He told us all that ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE.
He wanted us all to GIVE PEACE A CHANCE.
He wanted everyone to have a HAPPY CHRISTMAS.
He did do some off-the-wall things (Yoko, the Bed-In, protesting, etc.) but that was okay.
It was just John being John.
He "retired" for a couple years to be a "house-husband" and a daddy to son Sean.
It seemed like ages until...
he finally started recording again.
With the release of "Double Fantasy" John was back!
And we couldn't be happier.
Today, on October 9, he would have turned 74.
IMAGINE what could have been.
I miss him.
