The former Mrs. John Winston Ono Lennon turns 78 today. I will offer no snarky comment about how she is perceived by many to have broken up The Beatles.

So if you're among her detractors, just reroute the energy behind your ill-feelings into enjoying some of the wonderful tunes she inspired John to write. In fact, if not for Yoko Ono, my favorite Beatles song may have never come into existence.
