GOOGLE Homepage today is a tribute to John Lennon....
Edited on Fri Oct-08-10 12:21 PM by BrklynLiberal
He would have been 70 years old tomorrow. Yet another voice whose words and power are GREATLY missed in our world today.
http://www.google.com/

After clicking on the image, it plays one of his songs, and then goes to links about John Lennon...
including http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/09/arts/music/09lennon.html


<snip>
The Paley Center for Media (formerly the Museum of Television and Radio), meanwhile, offers an ambitious schedule of Lennon and Beatles films, as well as a photo exhibition, through Dec. 31. Numerous concert tributes will celebrate Lennon too, including a concert by the surviving members of his first band, the Quarry Men, at the Society for Ethical Culture on Saturday night.

But the two most compelling offerings are “LENNONYC,” a comprehensive documentary about Lennon’s New York years — his final decade, or virtually his entire post-Beatles career — by Michael Epstein, and an expansive CD reissue series that was overseen by Yoko Ono, Lennon’s widow, that includes the eight studio albums he made between “Plastic Ono Band,” in 1970, and “Double Fantasy” and the unfinished “Milk and Honey,” in 1980.

3. Can we assume that Yoko approved this?
Hate to piss on the parade, but I'm not sure Lennon would be thrilled to have his images integrated into a corporate logo, especially a corporation that until recently was (apparently unwittingly) helping the Chinese government to crack down on dissidents.
