John Lennon was born on October 9th, 1940 and was murdered on December 8th, 1980. What can be said about Lennon that hasn’t already been said a thousand times? I recall reading an interview he gave one time that mentioned his having been in a restaurant when a fan came up and started telling him what a great song writer he was…and then proceded to give Lennon all the credit for McCaernet’s lyrics. Lennon says he was smiling, nodding, and thinking, “what happens when this guy realizes that I was the one who wrote I AM THE WALRUS…” or something close to that. I know exactly how he felt.

Reportedly against his wishes, his widow had his remains cremated. There are differing reports of what she did with them, and she apparently isn’t talking.
