I just listening to the old beatles song, and I had to admit on how great artist John Lennon is. John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an iconic 20th century composer and singer of popular music with Paul McCartney as Lennon McCartney throughout the 1960s, and was the founding member of The Beatles. Lennon’s songwriting was an integral part of The Beatles’ profound commercial and critical impact. His melodies, written during the Lennon-McCartney era, and later, in his solo career, are distinctive and unashamedly romantic.
Lennon’s lyrics reflected his personal and career demands, philosophical outlook, his unease with his fame and current events. He and McCartney popularized the use of electronic effects in rock music. Lennon, on television and in films such as A Hard Day’s Night (1964), and by press conferences and interviews, revealed his rebellious, iconoclastic nature and quick, irreverent wit. Lennon channeled his fame and penchant for controversy into his work as a peace activist, artist and author.
Lennon had a profound influence on rock ‘n’ roll and in expanding the genre’s boundaries during the 1960s. He is widely considered, along with McCartney, to be one of the most influential singer-songwriter-musicians of the 20th century.
Lennon’s partnership in songwriting with McCartney involved him – many times – in complementing and counterbalancing McCartney’s upbeat positive outlook with the other side of the coin, as one of their songs, “Getting Better” demonstrates. Sadly he was murdered in New York City in December 1980.

Flowers can be an integral part of the decorations and help set the mood for your party –from fun and frisky to elegant and sophisticated. Your florist can even help you use flowers in some very surprising and unique ways no matter what type of party you’re throwing.
Backyard Barbecue
Backyard barbecues are friendly, relaxed events with an informal setting and comfortable clothing. For simple, fun centerpieces, try placing big bunches of daisies in canning jars. For and even prettier table, tie raffia bows around your napkins and silverware and slip a flower through the bow.
Flowers can help you enhance that beauty. Try using clay pots filled with flowering plants or green plants strung with twinkling white lights.
