Here's another link, where friends, biographers, and family imagine what John Lennon would have been doing today:

http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=1171242004On the eve of what would have been his 64th birthday, his family, friends and fans have imagined what he would have been like had he survived. They came up with some intriguing ideas: a composer of musicals to rival Andrew Lloyd Webber; a bestselling author; a robe-wearing, ponytailed peace campaigner leading protests against the Iraq war; or perhaps still playing in a rock ’n’ roll band.
If he had survived, instead of bleeding to death on the pavement outside Dakota Building in New York on 8 December, 1980, after being shot by Mark Chapman, a reunion with his fellow Beatles would not have been out of the question, according to one of his biographers.
But whatever Lennon might have done, everyone agrees he would have continued to make his mark on the world.

(according to his sister) "I do think he would have continued to paint and write. Music was just one part of his genius. He was truly multi- talented and would have written his autobiography and maybe other books which would have been bestsellers. He was also a wonderful artist."

When one million people marched through London in March last year in protest at the government’s decision to go to war in Iraq, John Lennon would have been in the front line, according to Bill Heckle, the owner of the Cavern Club, the Liverpool venue where the Beatles made their name.
