IMAGINE - JOHN LENNON WOULD BE 80 TODAY

It makes me sad that John was robbed of so much of his life by a vile nutcase who still lives.

Happy 80th birthday John Lennon and thanks for the great music, esp as half of the Lennon- McCartney genius songwriting team.

I miss him. His death was so tragic. I also feel old hearing that he'd be 80 today.

@Mindy D Ditto for me. One of those four cute fresh-faced lads would be 80 yrs old.

@Pearlee  Actually it would be 2 of the fresh faced lads....Ringo turned 80 this past July. When I think of how fresh faced I was when introduced to this indescribably fantastic foursome I really feel old.

NYC lit up the Empire State Blg blue with a white peace symbol in honor of Lennon's birthday. Nice tribute but it would be nicer of Lennon hadn't been shot to death in NYC.

He was alive for 40 and dead for 40 

how can that be?

 

I was too young to understand the british invasion

I learned to love them as a teen in the 70s and followed their solo careers

 

a great loss

Sir Paul tweeted a nice photo of both of them today, collaborating on a song. I've heard Paul say that photo was taken by Linda.
