She did a lot of avant garde stuff. I was always fine with whatever she did. As long as she didn't sing.

@barjoe RIGHT! She sounded like an unhappy banshee!

Birthday was Friday, it's his 81st year.

@barjoe OK, so to be clear, he's 80 and FIVE days? I guess that's ONE way to look at it!@

@Daco2007 Between the day you're born and your 1st birthday is your first year of life. You then begin your 2nd year.

@barjoe Yes, course, I get it. Apparently you missed my point. He's IN his 81st year, but he's 80, in the traditional way of thinking. Otherwise, people are like, "he's 81!?"

@Daco2007 I get it as well, we both get it. I know he's 80. He was 40 when Mark David Chapman shot him in 1980. Everyone knows it would've been his 80th birthday. I posted this late so I said his "81th year". Should have said belatedly. Still remember sitting in a bar, I was 23, watching Monday Night Football, then Howard Cosell interrupted with the news that John had been shot to death. The whole bar freaked out. Still sucks.
