Submariners Show Their Love for John

Hello, Beatlemaniacs!

These cool cats have done it again! YouTube channel, TheBeatleSubmarine have once again pulled together and produced such a wonderful tribute in honour of John Lennon's birthday. These young ladies are living proof of John Lennon's influence on younger generations. It's these young  people that give hope for a creative and positive world. If The Beatles are able to help take down Communism in the former Soviet Russia, then their music and their solo works can still inspire hope, peace, and love.

I greatly applaud this channel and their persistence to share the legacy of The Beatles and celebrate John Lennon on his special day.

Keep up the great work, Submariners!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN LENNON!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN LENNON!

John, every day I learn about you...every day I learn from you. Your life was a roller coaster of emotions and events. From the highest highs to the lowest of the lows you persevered and still carries a message of love and peace in your heart.

When religionists tried dismissing you for your comments on Jesus Christ, those loyal to you and understanding of you held you closer. When the band you created parted ways, your fans followed you into your solo career. When you decided to be a father to Sean, the world waited. And when you decided to welcome a new decade with exciting new music, you were taken from this world much to soon. However you never left the hearts of those who care about you.

You influenced the minds of those who seek inspirations from you. You have left a forever-lasting impression on all generations.  Thank you for your music, your love, and your timeless legacy. We all miss you!

Happy birthday, John.
