We feel certain our readers have heard or read their fair share of opinions about JOHN LENNON on the occasion of what would have been his 70th birthday, October 9. Apart from posting BOB DYLAN’s 1972 letter to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in support of John remaining in the United States, we have decided to add to the verbiage in a way that makes sense to us: through the lyrics of John’s songs, as collected in a special Video File ‘video album’ of John solo and with the Beatles. The first word belongs to George Harrison, though, in ‘All Those Years Ago.’
