Hot Right Now: John Lennon




Today marks the 70th birthday anniversary of the perpetually Hot Right Now, John Lennon. Yoko Ono has revived her musical roots with stars such as Lady 'Who Ha' and Iggy Pop, and performed two shows in LA last weekend.

Those reading the above paragraph may feel that Yoko's sell out of Johns musical catalogue is definitely a Not Right Now, we couldn't agree more. 

One things for sure, she remains very stern in her wish to protect the musical library. For example, she remains as the only non-consenting party in the negotiations to have the Beatles catalogue made available on iTunes.

Lennon, who was born October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, northwestern England, was shot dead by Mark David Chapman outside his Dakota apartment building on December 8, 1980. 

Chapman, 55, has been in jail since the shooting and was recently denied parole for the sixth time.

Hot Right Now, a musical legend and his influential and powerful legacy, and the inability for scum who cut his life short to walk free. Not Right Now, the loss of such a talent, and sell-out left overs of the Beatles era.
