Happy Birthday to John Lennon, one of the good guys who helped change the world.
Imagine, copyright by John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

John Lennon
December 8
I can only imagine the music we have missed. It was a very sad day for the world.

John Lennon's 70th Birthday
In order to commemorate John Lennon's 70th birthday, his solo albums have been re-issued and here are the details.
- As part of EMI's global reissue campaign, eight remastered solo albums were released this week, along with the expanded two-CD Double Fantasy Stripped Down, the compilation Power to the People: The Hits and the four-CD set Gimme Some Truth. The 11-CD John Lennon Signature Box holds the remastered albums, non-album singles and 13 previously unreleased home recordings, plus essays by Lennon's two sons and widow Yoko Ono.
- Complementing the reissues release is a numbered, limited edition of the John Lennon Box of Vision, a lavish collectible case with a 166-page hardbound book of LP artwork, a detailed discography and a storage system built to carry all of Lennon's CD releases. Created by Jonathan Polk and licensed by Ono to mark the 70th birthday, the $125 set is wrapped in a silver-inked Lennon portrait with a reproduction of his "Baby Grand" line drawing. Details: www.boxofvision.com.
- Ozzy Osbourne's cover of How?, from Lennon's Imagine album, is available at iTunes, with proceeds pegged for Amnesty International. In the video, streaming exclusively on AOL's PopEater.com, the metal god visits Beatles landmarks in New York and lays flowers at the Lennon memorial in Central Park.
