The Summer Olympics of 2012 in London were not nearly as good or as exciting as the Beijing Olympics in China in 2008. But the single most thrilling moment in either Olympics was in the closing ceremonies in London when (to paraphrase), the announcement said that the voice of the British Empire over the past 50 years was John Lennon of the Beatles. Certainly I didn’t want cutie pie McCartney to get that honor. I didn’t like McCartney selling the Beatles songs to Michal Jackson. Jackson moved Strawberry Fields from Sgt. Pepper to Abbey Lane which Jackson felt needed a boost. Just that vision of young John Lennon watching the actual long fields of strawberries in from his grandmother’s house. Perhaps he meditated on his sister actually being his mother before he wrote Love is actually a .45.
