Join the birthday salute to John Lennon
Saturday, October 9, 2010
Today we join Yoko Ono in asking fans around the world to upload video tributes to John Lennon on what would have been his 70th birthday.
If you have memories to share of this legendary member of the Beatles and his music, upload a video to
www.youtube.com/johnlennon
and you’ll join a global chorus that includes
Aerosmith
,
Jeff Bridges
,
Jonas Brothers
,
Ringo Starr
, and YouTube Community members like
Goh Nakamura
and DJ Mike Relm.
As part of today’s celebration, you may have noticed a special YouTube logo that’s being featured in 24 different countries highlighting the artist’s famous self-portrait. This unique artwork is also part of
a birthday video
that you can find at
www.google.com
. It’s the very first time that a YouTube video has been embedded into a one-of-a-kind Google Doodle — read a message from artist who created it

.
“Spread Peace. Imagine Peace.” is how Yoko suggests you celebrate the day, along with sharing your video tribute with the world.
