John Lennon would have turned 83 today. Of course he isn’t because, as hard as it may be to believe, he has been dead longer than he was alive.

Lennon never enjoyed the type of feverish success he enjoyed as a Beatle. He became deeply involved in causes that did not endear him to his fans, and most definitely did not thrill members of the Nixon administration.

But he did have his moments, as can be heard in this medley. Who knows, there might have been more if he had not been shot in the back as he and his wife walked through the archway entrance of their residence at The Dakota on December 8, 1980.
