Happy Birthday, John Lennon

Today would have marked John Lennon's 69th birthday, and surely the Strawberry Fields section of Central Park is seeing a lot of action for the occasion. However, one reader says that while the mosaic "is typically covered in flowers, adorned with trinkets and messages, and surrounded by people gathering to sing songs and pay tribute to the late Beatle. Early this morning, I found a lone salutation and a small army of the NYPD preparing for the onslaught of fans and tourists alike."

If you pass by, drop off some flowers and send your photos over. This December 8th will mark 29 years since his death.

I wish society would stop wishing dead people a happy birthday. Save it for the ones you love who are still alive.

You must be a blast at funerals.
