Funny how John's album has a title of George's album. cloud 9

I found that sooo cool and I wish I had the courage to talk to them... However, I wonder why I always only see MEN and no woman wearing Beatles or John T-Shirt.... ?

I wear one nearly every day. My nickname among my customers is Beatlegirl.

I need to invest in some sort of device that can put photos in my computer. (I don't have one but i'd love to show off this tiem. It's oneo f my prizes and was a great surprise. My sister got it at an auction around the time of the anthology and won't say what she paid for it)

Yeah, you wish... The caption said this was up in 1971. Maybe they were wrong and it was from 1973, when he was indeed available...

Somewhere in Brooklyn:

So I'm driving home, listening to my local National Public Radio station. They have this magazine-like show, Off-Ramp, with stories about life and culture in and around L.A. All of a sudden I hear, "Coming up next... the man who dropped acid with Groucho and smoked a joint with John Lennon."

My ears, naturally, pricked up as I listened to ex-Yippie and rabble rouser Paul Krassner tell a great anecdote about our boy.

You can listen to the interview here. (The part about John is half-way through, after the trippin' with Groucho anecdote.) And here is a link to a longer version of the story.

What a perfect California experience... sitting on a patio overlooking the Pacific, with the sun going down and the fireplace on... tea and cookies... smoking out with John and Yoko!

Awesome!!!! I'm going to listen to this now...

One of my co-workers just told me she became a grandma in October. Her son and his girlfriend welcomed a daughter they named Lennon Love! They had sort of hoped their girl would be born on the 9th, but little Lennon was a bit impatient and made her world debut on the 5th!

Lennon López is still the coolest namesake name I've heard so far, but Lennon Love comes in an awfully close second...

From American Dad!

Continuing on the SNL theme... Here's a photo and the transcript to a skit about The Beatles getting back together. (Don't remember ever seeing this one.)

John Belushi, whose fave Beatle and fave musician was John Lennon, plays our boy... while Bill Murray played Macca.

...and yet even more SNL Beatles love: Fried Chicken Fields Forever. Cute!

John as a symbol in the fight to legalize weed. (Guess Paul declined??)

this came my way yesterday as an e mail...

Apparently, John's immigration case helped the Obama Administration construct the compassionate Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Good on ya, Leon Wildes! We you!
