12. And Happy 32nd Birthday Sean!

How happy your father was that you were born on his 35th birthday, that you were ever born, and given him a special light in his life.

32. I didn't know that about Sean...

Very strange! I was also born on my father's birthday... which also happens to be Paul McCartney's birthday.

16. kick

The website for the peace tower is apparently getting slammed by visitors and is loading very slowly. So, I snagged an image of the tower and uploaded it to one of my sites:



It will shine from today until December 8, 2007. I hope all of you will try to visit the site. It features video, downloads as well as a link to send a peace message of your own:

18. I ALWAYS remember. You guys ever heard of the Founding Fathers based on the Beatles theory?

Alexander Hamilton - John
Thomas Jefferson - Paul
George Washington - George
Ben Franklin - Ringo

[blogslut]

20. I always liked Tom Robbins Beatles personality test

Your favorite Beatle indicates what type of person you are. :)

[Captain Hilts]

23. That didn't originate with Tom Robbins. That was a Big Question...

for friendship/dating in the early 60s!

Still is in some circles...

[blogslut]

24. cool

I'm a tich behind. "Still Life with Woodpecker" was where I first heard of it. I'm a decade behind the flower children. While they were protesting the war and making with the free love, I was going to grade school. :)

[progressoid]

30. Wow - flashback!

Still Life with Woodpecker!

I remember reading it and liking it a lot. But for the life of me, I can hardly remember the story. Wasn't there a prince or a recluse or something?

Will have to put that on my winter re-reading list.

[blogslut]

34. Well, it's been well over 20 years since I read it

But I recall it was about a guy and a redheaded woman and making love "stay". I may have to re-read it again myself. :)

[ThatsMyBarack]

19. I wish I had a WAR IS OVER sign....

....for my front lawn.

[Mad_Dem_X]

22. We miss you, John!

Happy birthday, Mr. Lennon.

35. It all seems so long ago

I was 31 when he was shot . It was a different world then and seems like another life time . It's just so sad to see where we have come since then .

[BrklynLib at work]

36. i remember exactly where I was at the moment I heard that he had been shot..

Ont he hjighway between SF and Yosemite...
At first, when I heard his name on the news I thought he had been arrested for pot or something.
I just could not believe someone would shoot John Lennon!!!!
