Today would have been John Lennon's 71st birthday.
He was highly influential in my life. That's obvious. My daughter is his namesake. We're teaching her about Karma, and about doing her best to make this world a peaceful place to live in.
Below is one of our favorite Lennon songs as a family. Jessi and I had planned to get married to it, at one point. It originated as a demo recorded in 1979 entitled 'Real Life'. After six sessions, it became 'Real Love'. It wasn't released until years after his death, when the documentary 'Imagine: John Lennon' debuted in theaters.
Here is Regina Spektor's cover of the song, which is simple and beautiful.
In totally unrelated Beatles news, Paul McCartney got married earlier today to New Jersey trucking heiress (I'm not making this up) Nancy Shevell. They exchanged vows at London's Marlyebone Town Hall, the same location that Paul married his first wife, Linda, in 1969.
