Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhhhhh, you say it’s your birthday! Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhhhh! It’s my birthday too yeah!
John Lennon, you righteous peacenik, today you were reborn. You have done more for me that I could ever thank you for, but thank you anyway. Your words and actions are endlessly inspiring to me, and I’ve thought of you many times before making decisions.
When I ask myself, “What would John do?” the answer is most always “Fookin’ go for it!”
I mean, one of the most famous men on the planet had the audacity to put a picture of himself and Miss Yoko fully nude, front and back, on the cover of his album. If he can do that, what can I do? What do I possibly have to hide?
Thank you, John Lennon, for all the questions you inspire in me. Thank you for challenging me to challenge myself. And thank you for your endless love and promotion of Peace as both a concept and a product. You taught me to sell Peace like soap, and I’ve been selling it hard.
Thank you with all the love and gratitude that mere words can convey.
I love you! Thank you!
-Jackson
