Today is the birthday of one of the greatest musicians of all time but most of all, of one of the greatest people who ever lived. A person with a heart filled by love, a soul filled by peace but a lot of times misunderstood. A person who was a dreamer, but not the only one. He may not be here physically anymore, but his music, philosofy and the way he changed not only the music but the world will live forever. Rest in peace, happy birthday my hero, John Winston Lennon!

But you’ve got to remember, John and I knew each other when we were teenagers. We listened to the same records. We grew up to those records. We wore the same clothes. We admired the same kind of people. We had the same tastes. That informed the whole business. John and I were like twins. To find someone like that is pretty impossible. And hey, we were also damn good. We just got it on. We were hot. You can’t replace someone like John, and I don’t think he could’ve replaced someone like me.

John Lennon (October 9, 1940)

“Nobody controls me. I’m uncontrollable. The only one who can control me is me, and that’s just barely possible.”
