Halloween

It's a little late, but happy birthday, John (not Lennon). Also, to everyone else, Happy Halloween. It's that magical time of year where college students get so drunk that they pass out and don't wake up and then their friends pull the fire alarm so everyone has to leave the building at 2am to stand in the cold wind. Then when the poor girl gets to walk embarrassed to the ambulance, people take out their anger at her for having the audacity to not wake up when she's had to much to drink by yelling at her. Oh, college.

Happy Birthday, John

I guess I am a little late, but Google told me that today (yesterday now) is (was) John Lennon's birthday, so I might as well put up a little post. A very little post. He wasn't really even my favorite Beatle, but he was pretty darn good, you have to admit. So the question on everyone's mind must be what is my favorite song of his. Maybe it's weird, but it's "Oh, Yoko." He's usually so angry or depressed, but when he's talking about Yoko he's just so happy, and it's so upbeat and simple that I can't help liking it. Maybe it's because I've got my own little Yoko. On a sort of related note, her name is actually 洋子, which should be transliterated Youko or Yooko, because it has a long vowel, so when he sings, "Oh, Yo-o-ko," it is actually the right pronunciation.

Do you have a favorite Lennon song?
