John Lennon’s 70th

Today would have been John Lennon’s 70th birthday. They have started a You Tube channel for him, coinciding with yet another compilation album release of his songs by you know who. Anyhow, on the You Tube channel, there are many birthday wishes recorded by celebrities and fans. Two we’ll share are fellow Beatle Ringo Starr, and quite a strange greeting from Jeff Bridges…
