On June 18, it was Paul McCartney's birthday, so I decided to have a party for the
best Beatle in the world. I invited a few friends to my house, and we just had a party! We had
snacks, games, and a cake! Paul turned 67, so we listened to the Sgt. Pepper album because
it was released in 1967. We all started singing, and my sister ran down the stairs and told us to
shut up. I made pins on May 18 for school, but this was the real party. I was so excited that I even
started with scrambled eggs for breakfast, which was funny because "Scrambled Eggs" was
the working title for the song "Yesterday" and I didn't even realize it until after breakfast! If
you did anything for his birthday, tell me!

They say it's your birthday...

Hey guys, as most of you know, I've been trying desperately to write a song. I wrote one, and I realized that the lyrics made a very inspirational poem. It's a song about peace, John Lennon, and that choked-up feeling. I started to feel that feeling when I read it out loud.
Walked to school early this morning
It was just like any other day
My friend just greets me at the corner
We hope that we will not be late
School is over in a flash, yes
I?ve been teased more than I can bear
Repeat the words of good John Lennon,
Strawberry Fields is far from here
Coming home I hear some people singing
I guide myself into the crowd
They are singing the words of Lennon
Singing those words big and loud
And then I realized what has happened
Something great beyond compare
There is no war, no pain, no suffering
I feel myself holding back tears
So now, I see the people laughing
I see them dancing in the street
I see the poor ones and the rich ones
Everyone will celebrate
Because war is over, aren?t you happy?
War is over; now dance
Don?t have to worry
Don?t have to cry
The war has ended; Lennon must be right
So now, I see the people laughing
I see them dancing in the street
I see the poor ones and the rich ones
Everyone will celebrate
Because war is over, aren?t you happy?
War is over; now dance
Don?t have to worry
Don?t have to cry
The war has ended, Lennon must be right
So I realized how good this was
I was ecstatic; war was dead
But then I felt so melancholy
So did the voice inside my head
I told myself John would?ve loved it
Lennon always wished for peace
Now I stood there, about to lose it.
But my mind got the best of me.
I then quickly called my friend?s house
She heard me crying on the line
She asked me what was wrong, and I told her
She then said to me ?It?s time?
My friend showed up at half past seven
Carrying a binder full of cards
I couldn?t make out what they said yet
I knew how this all would start.
We attached each card to a flower
Then put them all on Lennon?s grave
I wish that Lennon had not perished
So he could see peace being made
So now, I see the people laughing
I see them dancing in the street
I see the poor ones and the rich ones
Everyone will celebrate
Because war is over, aren?t you happy?
War is over, now dance
Don?t have to worry
Don?t have to cry
The war has ended, Lennon must be right
Now John Lennon was a smart man,
He was a good young boy at heart
He wanted world peace more than anything
He died before it all could start.
So nowadays we all make cards, yes,
On the date of Lennon?s day,
Hopefully Lennon went to heaven,
So he will read what they all say
So now, I see the people laughing
I see them dancing in the street
I see the poor ones and the rich ones
Everyone will celebrate
Because war is over, aren?t you happy?
War is over, now dance
Don?t have to worry
Don?t have to cry
The war has ended, Lennon must be right
Lennon must be right
Oh Lennon must be right 

John would've been so proud!

Hello! What's up guys, I haven't talked to you in so long! I have a challenge for you. I want you to see if you can pay attention to Beatles references on TV and in movies, and post them here. Some samples would be that:
In an episode of The Wonder Years, there is a Paul McCartney poster in a kid's room.
In an episode of an old Nickelodeon show (I forget the name), they were featuring kids that could draw well on etch-a-sketches, and one kid drew a really good picture of the Beatles.
In All That, Superdude's girlfriend is named Penny Lane.
So, now that you've seen some examples, look for your own! They can be obvious, or you could need to think about them a little bit. It will be really cool to see what we come up with!

Paul was always my favorite Beatle, always, from the start even before the website was created. HE ROCKS! : ) : )
