Now you can see amazing photographs from that time and read eye-witness recollections in Give Peace A Chance by Joan Athey (Wiley 2009). Today they named a crater on the moon after Lennon. At first I thought it was a joke! We have indeed come a long way. My exhibition of some of the photographs is in Delray Florida until Sunday. The birthday party last night had over 300 people who all had a fabulous time. And there's so much to celebrate with Yoko taking such good care of John's ideas and legacy.
