    On October 9th a very special birthday is celebrated. On October 9th 2007 Mr. John Lennon would have been 67 years young. I would like to dedicate this thread to remember one of, if not the most liberal and artistic minds of all time. 27 years after this death, his fascinating life is still being remembered and honored. John Lennon wasn't only an unbelievable musician, he was an amazing person too.I adore and admire John Lennon and would like to welcome anybody else who feels the same way I do to post their feelings, ideas, and even comments about or on John Lennon here as a little birthday present for him if you will. Please nice comments only. Thanks
    9 days til his Birthday!

    I admire him so much. I have a poster of him in my room with his "Imagine" lyrics on them. He's so awesome.

    Happy Birthday John!

    I love John Lennon so much. The Beatles were my first favourite band, and they were what got me into the 60s and hippie stuff. His post-Beatles work is so amazing, too. I love the song "Give Peace a Chance" - it always cheers me up for some reason. So many of his other songs are wonderful, too. Great lyrics, great tunes, so amazing... It's horrible and tragic that he couldn't have lived longer to spread more peace and love to the world. He was such a wonderful person, and I know he's changed many lives besides mine.

    I'm relly not into pop, so the music never did anything for me. I'm sure he meant well though.

    John, George, Paul & Ringo changed my life by the music they brought to America in the early 60's. It wasn't considered "pop" then. Totally different than anything we had ever heard at the time. I was so into the music I decided to start playing an instrument myself. Still do, but now play a totally different type of music.
    I feel they changed my life for the better, and now I also pass it along to kids thru music lessons, free, to any kid that wants to learn how to play a guitar or bass in our area here.
    Peaceful thoughts to all....
    Thanks John, Happy Birthday.....
    Farmout :) All we need is LOVE

    John Lennon. Just wow.
    i love him with all my heart, he's my hero.
    we learned so much from him. why would they kill a person like that?
    he meant so much to us. and he still does to me. he imagined it all. he is the reason why i have become this person that i am now, and that i will always be.
    I love you very much, John. And I always will.
    May you rest in peace. And a happy birthday.
    PEACE & LOVE. BECAUSE THAT IS ALL WE NEED !

    George Harrison - All Those Years Ago (dedicated to John Lennon)

    Im shouting all about love
    While they treated you like a dog
    When you were the one who had made it
    So clear
    All those years ago.

    Im talking all about how to give
    They dont act with much honesty
    But you point the way to the truth when you say
    All you need is love.

    Living with good and bad
    I always look up to you
    Now were left cold and sad
    By someone the devils best friend
    Someone who offended all.

    Were living in a bad dream
    Theyve forgotten all about mankind
    And you were the one they backed up to
    The wall
    All those years ago
    You were the one who imagined it all
    All those years ago.

    Deep in the darkest night
    I send out a prayer to you
    Now in the world of light
    Where the spirit free of the lies
    And all else that we despised.

    Theyve forgotten all about god
    Hes the only reason we exist
    Yet you were the one that they said was
    So weird
    All those years ago
    You said it all though not many had ears
    All those years ago
    You had control of our smiles and our tears
    All those years ago

    once i really got into his music and learned more about his views, i instantly knew he was a hero ofmine.
    i watched "the US vs. john lennon"-great movie-and after, i cried my eyes out. hearing his story moved me in such a way......

    As far as I'm concerned, Mr. Lennon was a prophet. His life was taken too soon..
