    John Lennon's Birthday

    On this day, in 1940, John Lennon (member of The Beatles) was born. If he were still alive, he would've been 72.

    Today marks what would have been John Lennon's 72nd birthday. Though it has been nearly 32 years since The Beatles icon was shot on the front steps of The Dakota, he is still remembered every day by fans who flock to Central Park's Strawberry Fields and new fans alike, who are just beginning to "Come Together."

    Imagine John Lennon at 72. Slide show.

    To this day I still get pissed off whenever I think about Lennon's murder.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Give a man a fish, and he will eat it. Teach a man to fish and he will spend lots of money on tackle...

    Last time I checked. He died right after he buried Paul.

    The Playboy John Lennon Interview. This was the last interview that John did. I was half way through reading it when my friend called to tell me John had been shot dead...
