Happy Birthday, John

There might not be a better song for reflecting on the past and paying tribute to those no longer with us than "In My Life." So using it to celebrate John's time on this earth would seem to be the ultimate exercise of its poignant power. It certainly beats another journalist or sycophant weighing in on the matter (as sincere as they may be). The music says everything that needs to be said. Happy Birthday, John.
