I think most of you can agree with me when I say John Lennon was one of the best musicians of all time. The 24th anniversary of his death was just a couple of days ago, and sadly, he is slowly being forgotten. I think this is a tragedy, and I want to do everything I can to stop this from happening. If you agree with me, please go here and sign this petition that will help make October 9th, his birthday, a national holiday. I think this petition is a great idea and it won't hurt you just to sign it. thanks.

i agree with the above.
and even if john lennon was one of the best musicians of the century, if not of all time, i don't think that it's really in line to make his birthday a national holiday. the only people who get national holidays are people like martin luther king and lincoln and washington… i just don't see john lennon as fitting in with that crowd. good music is nice, but it doesn't have much to do with ending strife and founding countries.

The ex-guitarist of Pantera was murdered on Lennon's 24th anniversary at a show in Columbus, Ohio along with a couple fans. It's really sad.
