Tomorrow, Saturday October 9, 2010, would have been the 70th Birthday of John Lennon. Google celebrates this with its first-ever animated video doodle. By clicking on the "E" a short video appears, playing a sequence of John Lennon's song Imagine:
You may say that I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one

Below are links to more songs from John Lennon:

John Lennon is among the most influential artists of the 20th century. The Beatles's music was instrumental for a whole generation and his early death is comparable to "killing a mockingbird".

John Lennon was born on 9 October 1940 and killed on 8 December 1980. He was an English singer-songwriter. Together with Paul McCartney he founded the Beatles who became the most successful band in the 20th century.

His death seems to have happened "by accident kind of" through the hands of a person who could be described as insane. John Lennon had quite some influence and it is very likely that he stepped on somebody's toes. He is not the only person that was shot apparently by some insane single killer.

Not that it proves anything, but it is rather interesting that the FBI seems to be still interested in John Lennon. As morningcity.com reports, that FBI agents have seized a form which John Lennon completed on May 8, 1976 when he was applying for U.S. Citizenship. That document still had the fingerprints of John Lennon and was about to be auctioned off.

Now is the official birthday of John Lennon and the Google Doodle is still there. Why it was already there one day before his birthday is not clear.
