John Lennon was born in Liverpool on this day 75 years ago — a moment for lover Yoko Ono and his fans to reflect on his legacy — and how he’d react to current events.
The Beatles founder’s Twitter feed is being followed by 141,000 people.
According to E! Online, tributes are using #JL75, “the official hashtag being encouraged by The Beatles Story museum in their hometown of Liverpool, which if of course marking the occasion today and kicking off an anti-hunger campaign, Imagine No Food Poverty.”
Happy Birthday, John Lennon.

It was hard to imagine John Lennon turning 75. I sent a text to young Neil, saying “I’m thinking of you today.”
“Er, why?” he replied. Cold.

It’s hard to imagine John Lennon being allowed to get to 75. He’d certainly be branded a terrorist. Truth is a dangerous thing to hegemony

It is late in the day but not too late to bow a head to the memory of John Lennon, 75 today and one of the true, towering icons of the age.
