John Lennon 71st Birthday Celebration

The bard of Liverpool is celebrated in song. Alan Merrill—the dude who originally wrote "I Love Rock ’n’ Roll"—takes the headline slot, while support includes David Peel of the Lower East Side Band, whose album The Pope Smokes Dope was produced by John and Yoko. Beatles and Lennon covers also come from Sean Yox and the Streamers, Briana Lyon and the Boys, and Adam Bernstein.
