Today...
I hope some of you paused to remember John today.
I'm anxious to know how the "tower lighting" went, and if Paul really showed up. I don't know why it's taking so long to get real-time news out of Iceland, but I can't find an after-the-fact story right now....
A couple of today's stories:

Ono to unveil peace tower in Iceland

Yoko Ono unveils Lennon monument
[Macca a no-show!! ]
Fans of John Lennon joined his widow, Yoko Ono, in Iceland to mark what would have been his 67th birthday by unveiling a tower of light in his name.
Ono lit up the Imagine Peace Tower in Videy island, near Reykjavik, as a choir sang Lennon's 1975 song "Imagine".
She was accompanied by her son Sean Lennon, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr and George Harrison's widow Olivia.
"We're all here for Johnny's birthday and the big light," Starr said. "I love the light."
The tower is a beam of light radiating from a wishing well, which is engraved with the words "imagine peace" in 24 languages.
It will be lit each year between Lennon's birthday, 9 October, and the anniversary of his death on 8 December.
Ono, who designed the monument 40 years ago, said: "I got the idea because I just liked the romantic idea of having a building that just appears, emerges once in a while but sometimes it is not seen."
"I consider myself very fortunate to see the dream my husband and I dreamt together become reality," said Ono.
