John Lennon was MUCH more than that.

Wow, and I though *I* had a twisted sense of humor...

After all, I'm the guy who came up with plans for aviation theme suites
like:

-The Hindenburg Suite
-The Lockerbie Suite
-The Experimental Suite
-The Bong Suite

....and dozens more just like them, only to be shot down by Mary....

I like the name of a restaurant listed in Flight Guide at Duluth:
Afterburner...

Do those that use the Bong suite generally know it was named for a fighter
ace and not a device?

These are suite names that we REJECTED, on the basis of their double
entendre names...

Thus, we have no Bong Suite. (Although a "Lightning Suite" is in the
works...)

I think that John Lennon was more than a rock star. I lived in Britain
for a while postwar, and it was a dreary place. Bad heat, bad food,
bad clothing, bad dentistry... The Beatles were the first sound of joy
that poor old island had heard in many a year. After the Beatles (and
especially after the Beatles "found" America) ("went to Iceland and
turned left:"), things began to look up.

all the best -- Dan Ford
