Imagine!! Today Google surprised me once again. John Lennon, the Beatle singer has been celebrated with a special interactive Google doodle to commemorate, in a poetic way, what would have been his 70th birthday.
When we go to the search engine's home page we are greeted to an illustration which has been designed in celebration a day before what would have been the singer-songwriter's milestone. Clicking on the logo it links to a 32 second track, which plays his popular song Imagine.
As it plays the logo generates different pictures including that of a butterfly and flower before turning back to a black and white version of the Google name. Users can then click through to the YouTube version of it.
Lennon was shot died outside his appartment in New York. He was a pacifist and his theme Imagine gained even more impact after his death.
His window Yoko Ono is encouraging people around the world to send videos tribute to Youtube to celebrate this very special day.
"You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one "
... are some of the lyrics from "Imagine" which became a hymn for peace in the world!
Imagine! It would be impossible to me not to spread his word of peace! Yes, I'm a dreamer too!
