J Lennon page 41 by ric gustafson
On October 9 1980, John Lennon woke up and put on his glasses. He smiled. Today was a special day. It was his 40th birthday. The day had another special meaning. It was his son's 5th birthday. The day started out with tea and pleasant reflections. Then he got a call from his old writing partner. Paul McCartney wished him and his new album well.
Yoko brought the two up to the roof of the Dakota. They watched as a skywriter spelled out happy birthday. On a walk down Central Park West, they run into an old friend. It was Geraldo Rivera.
In San Francisco, Jann Wenner wants to do a new cover story about John for Rolling Stone. John was elated that the first single ' Just Like Starting Over' was number 4 on Billboard.
The new album was being released on November 17. He had just turned 40. He felt good. There were talks about a tour in the spring of 1981. For John, life was really good.
