That sounds excellent!!! "How on earth are they gonna' see...laughin' at fools like me" ~ //oo\\ "Happy Xmas...War Is Over...If We Want It" ~ //oo\\///~~\\\

very surprised (and happy) that it will be televised.

I was able to order a pair of tickets!

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 ?

TMZ is the land mine border between Texas and the United States.

Yeah, I thought that was a bit odd.

Beginning on October 9th and going through January 15th every year we should celebrate 99 Days Of Lennon and forget about his death and killer all together.

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.

The gathering at John's star is happening on Tuesday, the 8th at 6 pm. There was also another gathering for George on Nov. 29th.

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

No, they won't be there. Just video appearances.

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

Am not sure that funny would be the correct term, although.
