John Lennon/Beatles Mega Thread

[jaycee]

Ooh, I didn't know about the John Lennon Signature Box! I guess I'm rather glad now that I haven't worked at buying his albums (I only own Double Fantasy and the compilation Lennon Legend). After buying me The Beatles Stereo Box Set for my birthday, I'm sure Dad'll be happy to buy this for me too!
Thanks for all the information about the Lennon commemorations msLinds!

It's going to be crazy here in Liverpool for the next 3 months!

Love it.

Thank you so much for posting all this mslinds. John Lennon is my all-time favorite artist. We have the same birthday as well. I am going to try to make at least one of these events, and I will get the box set. I really can't say in words how much his music has impacted my life. He continues to shine on.

Aww...I'm going to San Francisco a week too late. Anyways, thanks again for posting this. Is anyone getting the Signature box or the Gimme Some Truth box? I read a review for his stripped down Double Fantasy and it's supposed to be amazing.

Here's a fairly recent picture that I thought was so sweet...going along with the theme of John:



I love both Jules and Sean!

Oh how I wish I could be there... I wonder if there'll be anything in particular that Australia might have to celebrate him... if they do, but only on 9/10... well, John and my mum share their birthdays, so that would make it hard... I guess we'll see what happens...
