Happy Birthday, John

Every year on October 9, I take a moment to think about my hero from Liverpool. There's only one.

He was a soldier for peace. He was very funny. He wrote beautiful songs that were sometimes ugly. He was a truth-teller, a shit-stirrer. He beat The Man in front of The Supreme Court. He was a poet. He was a humble egotist. He admitted his wrongs. He followed his ideas unconditionally.


Happy 72nd Birthday, Mr. Lennon, wherever you are.
