John Lennon would be 80 on Friday

The faithful disciples always knew it was original work, and three mortal Courts have agreed.

I didn't think a .38 pistol was natural now do I put a smiley here on such a serious subject when it was an obvious spelling error, mmmmm

If we're splitting hairs, technically it was a .38 revolver.

Is there a difference once your dead?

If you're a pedantic gun owner like me, or a defence solicitor, then there is quite a difference! Pistols have a breech integral with the barrel or barrel assembly, revolvers do not.

As for lennon himself, that was probably the least of his worries, although if he were a pedant like I am he would have lain there arguing the toss.

Lennon may have died from natural causes like George

Lennon was gunned down,and i understand his killer has just had his eleventh appeal turned down,also George Harrison died of lung cancer in 2001.

 

[Drago]

Lung cancer kicked it all off, butnit was the spread to the brain that did for poor old George.

McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by an imposter.

Starkey's career died in 1970.

No, Starkey voiced the Thomas the Tank series.

Thomas the Tank engine was more entertaining than "Yellow Submarine."

I like these "if Phil Lynott / Elvis / John Lennon was still alive, he would have been XX years old today" thoughts. Of course if Bob had a fanny, he'd be my auntie.

Mind you, did you know that Moses would be 3431 years old if he was alive today? Fair play to the lad, that's a hell of an age!

 

[tyred]

If I'd been born in 1959 I would be 61.

 

[Drago]

If Hiter were alive today they'd probably execute him.

I was. I am.

 

[flake99please]

Can you imagine that? Not the nicest man in all the world, and in some ways a complete pillock. Still, he could write a decent song.

I see what you did there.

Not the same. It was a massive shock when Lennon was shot dead. I remember when Sid Vicious killed himself, and when Elvis died, but they weren't murdered. Whether they were any good or not, we knew more about The Beatles as people than any other group of musicians.

I think you're missing the point Cannucks; this is about celebrating his life (that was cut short). Not about some weird fantasy.

Can't you just let the fans have their moment?
