Kinda' tough to imagine a 70 year old John isn't it? Maybe that's why there aren't any more posters yet.................. Spaw |

Lennon's birthday is the 9th (ie tomorrow)...and did you know that Sean was born on John's 35th birthday. So tomorrow he will himself be the same age as his father was the day he was born !! Here's Loudon Wainwright's "Not John" |

08 Oct 10 - 02:09 PM (#3002682) Subject: RE: Google honors John Lennon's 70th birthday From: Jim Dixon Hey, on October 13, Paul Simon will be 69. Bob Dylan is already 69. Paul McCartney is 68. Carole King is 68. These guys will probably be "forever young" to me, as long as they keep performing. Maybe this is a personal response. I don't know why; maybe it has to do with their style of music and creativity. Maybe it's because I learned to love their music when I was quite young myself, and I still do. |

09 Oct 10 - 09:29 AM (#3003166) Subject: RE: Google honors John Lennon's 70th birthday From: MGM·Lion If you hover over the logo, you get "Happy 70th birthday, John Lennon". Is that the best of taste, considering he's dead? I find it a peculiarly spooky sentiment. ~Michael~ |

09 Oct 10 - 10:56 AM (#3003209) Subject: RE: Google honors John Lennon's 70th birthday From: Jerry Rasmussen A Lennon story: Shortly before John and Yoko's double ablum came out, there was a long article on John and the satisfaction he was experiencing, being a home-father. I was moved by it, and sent him a letter to the Dakota, including a copy ...of my first Folk Legacy album. We both owed a lot to Lonnie Donnegan and the skiffle bands. Shortly after that, I received a copy of the double album in the mail, with a Dakota hotel return address. No note, but it was still a surprising act of generosity. On Saturday night live, they did a skit with Dan Ackroyd as a foorman at the Dakota, fishing through the garbage cans, hoping to find a copy of the double album. There was a great deal of excitement about its impending release, because no one had an advance copy (except me.) It wasn't until a couple of weeks later when the album was released to the critics. I've never thought of anyone as inaccessible. After John's murder, I read that security had been very tight and that no mail addressed to him was ever delivered. Except mine.

11 Sep 19 - 02:00 PM (#4008414) Subject: RE: Google honors John Lennon's 70th birthday From: keberoxu Yes, this thread is an old one. So is the article to which this post will link. At the time, I suppose, I felt too raw to read 'Lennon at 70!' a Vanity Fair satire by David Kamp (24 September 2010) in the magazine issue. Today, in light of the fiction film "Yesterday" with Robert Carlyle acting the part of septuagenarian John Lennon -- no, I have not viewed the film -- it is a little bit easier to read through the satire from Vanity Fair magazine. And, yes, the satire does draw blood, so read at your own risk. |
