Happy Birthday to Him! My favorite Lennon song:

This is my favorite song as well. He will be in our memories forever.
I’m pretty sure he didn’t write that one though, as much as I enjoy it.
This is my fave.

Ya, no he definitely didn’t write it (Ben E. King) … But he nailed it and owned it (just like Brian Ferry nailed Jealous Guy)… Further to the John Worship,
Yesterday in 1969 he & Yoko erected their “War is over! If you want it!” billboards in 11 cities. Apparently, though, we still want war…
Yeah, the xmas song is nice, but it is an incredibly naive sentiment.
‘Don’t do war because it’s not very pleasant’
Well, to be fair, it had more to do with “America, you numb nut imperialists, Viet Nam is a bullshit situation. You can leave now, if you so choose.”
