It’s June 1st, baby!

Happy Birthday John

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

John Lennon’s 70th birthday was celebrated yesterday.

I had hoped to write up my own post here to add my thoughts but was too busy with all those things that happen when you’re busy making other plans.

In lieu of my contribution, head over to Jill Golick’s blog where she has assembled a noteworthy collection of videos posted by others, wishing John – the spirit of his life and his message of peace we carry with us – a very Happy Birthday.

It’s not too late to add your own video by going to YouTube where you can post your own message of peace and thanks.

Imagine Peace.

Cheers.

I’m in the midst of some changes here which will (hopefully) affect the content of this blog. It’s devolved every once and while into acid rants against any perverse stupidity that stands between humanity and the common good. Sometimes it’s just a pretty collection of neat videos and at other times it is (hopefully) an aggregation of inspiring ideas.

I’m not sure what it will turn into as I change a few things around here – more than just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, I assure you – but it will still be a place for the sticky brain morsels of Robbo to find purchase.

In the meantime – sing-along with John.

The only sure thing about this world is that things change. And I don’t think Gandhi meant for us to impersonate nickels and dimes when he said: Be the change you seek in the world.”

Cheers.

We could use more of this.
