Happy Birthday John

War Is Over John and Yoko, originally uploaded by DRheins.

John Lennon would have been 70 today, had he not been gunned down by a crazed fan. Though slain through gun violence, his message of peace and love still resonates the world over.

War is Over...if you want it. Give Peace A Chance. All You Need Is Love. Instant Karma. 

Despite everything, I still believe in the cosmic giggle.

Happy Birthday John --  Rest in PEACE.
