Imagine...

Today would have been John Lennon's 85th Birthday, had he not been taken from us back in December 1980.
I was going to mark the occasion by listing my favourite Beatles songs, but ranking them in that way feels like trying to decide which aspect of breathing is most important to me.
I would love to write an eloquent appraisal of his importance, both musically and culturally, but unfortunately I lack the ability (that he had in abundance) to place words next to each other in a beautiful, flowing way. So I will just say this - it is so sad, and so wrong, that he has now been dead for longer than he was ever alive.
