"This year would have been the 70th birthday year for John if only he was here. But people are not questioning if he is here or not. They just love him and are keeping him alive with their love." These are Yoko Ono's words, as today marks the 30th year since the passing of one of the world's most beloved artists, John Lennon. Yoko commemorated the occasion with a touching piece in the
NY Times times,
Rolling Stone's final interview with Lennon, and be sure to watch the wonderful
PBS documentary on Lennon’s life in New York City during the 1970s. In John's words:
“You are all geniuses, and you are all beautiful. You don't need anyone to tell you who you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get peace, think peace, live peace, and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.”
