Happy 69th Birthday John Lennon
Today would have been John Lennon’s 69th birthday. Musician, artist, peace activist – his legacy and message continues to resonate. For the next three days, Montclair is host to a wonderful exhibition of Lennon’s artwork “We All Shine On,” co-sponsored by Montclair BID and Yoko Ono’s Legacy Fine Art & Productions. I visited the show yesterday with Production Manager, Bob Pratt.
This guy is my hero, in fact, I always wonder why he went to gunland and didn’t stay close to his beloved Liverpool.
I don’t think he would be a lover of fine art, knowing his background and humble start in life, Lennon is remembered for his stability and plain common sense.
He was a music man not a fine art artist, Yoko perhaps, brought this culture in to his life.
Who knows and too late to find out!
I like his song: Real Love
All my little battling schemes
was like some forgotten scenes;
Seems that all I really was doing
was waiting for Y O U.
Dressed like little girls and boys,
playing with their little toys;
Seems like all we really were doing
was waiting for L O V E.
No need to be alone
No need to be alone
It’s real love, it’s R E A L .
Yes, it’s real love, it’s R E A L .
From this moment on I know
exactly where my life will go;
seems that all I really was doing
was waiting for L O V E.
No need to be afraid
No need to be afraid
It’s real love, it’s R E A L .
Yes, it’s real love, it’s R E A L .
More I didn’t love before,
But in my heart I wanted more;
Seems like all I really was doing
was waiting for Y O U.
No need to be alone
No need to be alone
It’s real love, it’s R E A L .
It’s real love, it’s R E A L .
Yes, it’s real love, it’s R E A L ………….
