              Huh? John was born on Oct. 9, 1940. A birthday concert not at all close to his birthday but just a couple days before the anniversary of his murder is a truly bizarre idea.

                You can celebrate someone's life & their music at any time really. And I would think that this had to have Yoko's blessing.

                  No offense to these guys, but they couldn't get a better lineup?

                      What about that plonker wearing a Lennon t shirt with Paul at the grammys? Why isn't he performing? What's his name? TMZ ?

                          Yeah, I thought that was a bit odd. :

                              I'm assuming Yoko had the courtesy of inviting Paul and Ringo to perform. It might be worth watching just to see those two perform together.

                                Somehow doubt that, but time will tell I guess when the concert time arrives.

                                  Welp. The "John Lennon Memorial Gathering" at his Star on The Walk of Fame, in front of The Capitol Records Building in Hollywood, has been held every year on Dec. 8. It is meant to be a transcendence of the violence, to live and to rise above it. But I can't find any information about it for this year. A bunch of folks gathered at his Star to commemorate Cynthia's passing last April 1st.

                                      Thank you Sgt._Pepper. For some reason, that info is not coming up in Google search. Google hasn't been too sharp lately.

                                          That's funny. I can just hear someone chanting, "99, 99, 99".
