Happy Birthday to John Lennon

Today would have been John Lennon's birthday. Had he not been assassinated almost 30 years ago.
My all time favorite singer, songwriter, artist, philosopher. He was an idol of mine since I was a child and the world could definitely use someone like him, now more then ever.



Google is doing a nice little tribute to Lennon as well, google.com and click play for some of Lennon's drawings to become animated to the song "Imagine"

And some nicer quotes by Lennon Himself.





The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
-John Lennon



Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.
-John Lennon



Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
-John Lennon


If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
-John Lennon


If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
-John Lennon


If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
-John Lennon
