MindCrime Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 We share the same birthday I've always pondered that, even though he was far ahead of my time. There was a thread a few months ago about What Celebrities's Have the Same Birthday, It's also the late John Entwhistles & PJ Harvey's, I don't remember who else was on it.

MindCrime Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Thanks Annabelle! :: I have about 1 1/2 hours left of my youth; & then I will be officially over-the-hill. As soon as my best friend gets off of work, I'm driving up north & I'm going to party like there's no tomorrow :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious_Peaches Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 When I'm 64 When I get older losing my hair, Many years from now. Will you still be sending me a valentine Birthday greetings bottle of wine. If I'd been out till quarter to three Would you lock the door, Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four. You'll be older too, And it you say the word, I could stay with you. I could be handy, mending a fuse When your lights have gone. You can knit a sweater by the fireside Sunday mornings go for a ride, Doing the garden, digging the weeds, Who could ask for more. Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four. Every summer we can rent a cottage, In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear We shall scrimp and save Grandchildren on your knee Vera Chuck & Dave Send me a postcard, drop me a line, Stating point of view Indicate precisely what you mean to say Yours sincerely, wasting away Give me your answer, fill in a form Mine for evermore Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four. RIP John... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 He's looking down from my White Album poster while I listen to "Imagine." You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will live as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiggsUK Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Yes, probably. I do think elevating John Lennon to god-status is a bit much though. If he hadn't died, would he be so revered? His 'working class hero' ethics would probably look a bit hypocritical by now, given his wealth. There is an exhibition of his drawings in London at the moment, and he is being hailed as a great artist in this context also. I saw some of these on the telly, and they looked just like my doodles. Can't knock his ability to write a song though. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, most musicians don't become imfamous until they're dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Annabelle_ Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 I do think elevating John Lennon to god-status is a bit much though. Agreed. I respect him very much as a musician and artist but he was in no way perfect. And no he wouldn't be so venerated if he hadn't died, but his somewhat 'romantic', not to mention untimely, death has secured his legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielj Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 I'm not the only American who thinks Canada sucks. Probably Not, But there are a lot more Canadians Who Think America Sucks. And judging by the population, That is quite a feat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Strength doesn't come in numbers, it comes in people who aren't idiots like everybody else. And John Lennon was good, but his songs are overrated. Plus he was Yoko's bitch. His songs were really catchy though. I especially like "Give Peace A Chance."

edna Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 John Lennon wasn´t perfect, he wasn´t kind with women, specially his wife Cynthia Powell; he cheated and he was violent. As Julian Lennon said "Peace? There was no peace at home...". But he was fighting that devil in himself and trying to be a better person. He always recognized he had a machist behaviour. Of course, he was a diva, after all he was a Beatle... and a great musician, a great songwriter, he was in the right place at the right moment. Oh, and very attractive, certainely. By the way, it was also the birthday of... Julio Iglesias... I love maple leaves, the red and the green ones... I´m a fan of Canada and Neil Young and Leonard Cohen and some other friends you don´t know coz they´re not known. Keep on rocking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
