Happy birthday, John Lennon - If a crazed fan hadn't murdered him in 1980, and barring other unforeseen disasters, today would have been John Lennon's 64th birthday. For Beatles' fans, even casual Beatles' fans, the number has a musical ring. One of the great songs from the Paul McCartney/John Lennon songbook is titled "When I'm Sixty-Four."

Will you still be sending me a valentine, Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?" Here's a valentine to you, John.

In a deal with Best Buy stores, he rolled out the first six records on his rocking new label. - story
