Last Saturday would have been John Lennon's 70th birthday.
Since he was shot and killed in 1980, his stature as a musician and counter-culture icon has only grown. While many musicians of his day have descended into nothing more than nostalgia acts, Lennon's death, tragic as it was, afforded him a sort of immortality, cementing his place in music history and popular culture.
