I'm sorry about the quality of this, all you Peatle Beople; I did this on short notice because I had done one for George Harrison earlier in the year for his birthday. Figured I'd do the same for our beloved Johnny Boy. If you can't read the timeline, look below:
Slide 1: Imagine A Tribute to John Lennon Slide 2: October 9, 1940 – John Winston Lennon is born to Julia Stanley and Alfred Lennon in Liverpool, Lancashire, England Slide 3: September, 1956 – Quarrymen is formed by Lennon Slide 4: July 15, 1958 – Lennon’s mother Julia killed by car Slide 5: August 23, 1962 – Lennon and Cynthia Powell marry at Mount Pleasant Register office in Liverpool Slide 6: February 11, 1963 – Lennon suffers effects of cold while recording Please Please Me album Slide 7: April 8, 1963 – Son John Charles Julian Lennon is born Slide 8: April 27, 1964 – Lennon’s book In His Own Write is published Slide 9: June 24, 1965 – Lennon’s second book A Spaniard in the Works is published Slide 10: July 19, 1965 – Lennon’s pleading song ‘Help!’ is released Slide 11: August, 1966 – Lennon’s remark of being ‘more popular than Jesus’ causes angry flare-up in US Slide 12: October 18, 1967 – Lennon stars as Musketeer Gripweed in director Richard Lester’s film adaptation of Patrick Ryan’s How I Won the War Slide 13: November 29, 1968 – Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Two Virgins album is released Slide 14: March 20, 1969 – Lennon and Ono tie the knot in Gibraltar, near Spain Slide 15: April, 1970 – Beatles disband, Lennon reacts negatively to fellow band-member Paul McCartney’s debut album Slide 16: December 6, 1971 – The single ‘Happy Xmas (War is Over)’ is released by Lennon and Ono with backing vocals by the Harlem Community Choir Slide 17: November 16, 1973 – Mind Games album is released. This year, Lennon and Ono separate. Lennon calls this 18-month period his ‘lost weekend’ with May Pang Slide 18: October 9, 1975 - 1977 – Son Sean Taro Ono Lennon is born, Announces break from music to be house husband and father Slide 19: December 8, 1980 – Lennon is shot and killed outside the Dakota apartments in New York. Slide 20: At 11:07 pm, he is officially pronounced dead. Slide 21: Today, October 9, 2011, is John Lennon’s birthday. So let’s all remember his life and legacy. His hit singles, his relationships, his flaws, and his redeeming qualities should all be taken into account. He was not a saint, far from it in fact. But nevertheless, he is a hero to believe in because he was human. Being human means having flaws and fears, smiles and tears, and knowing about the things you do and don’t do. John Lennon was a great man in that sense. He was human. He was a hero. Slide 22: In loving memory of John Winston Ono Lennon: October 9, 1940 to December 8, 1980. Rest in Peace our beautiful friend.

Please forgive me for the crappy show; I shall now cower in shame in the corner.
Do you by any chance have a link or something to the last picture? I need some good pictures of John to draw, and I loved that one! (If you have any suggestions of other pictures, that is of course welcome! )
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! The last picture... I don't know where I got it. I could e-mail you the file if you want; it's on my computer. It's in gif format. If you want some other pictures for suggestion, try this page here: [link] They have tons of good photos to work from.
I really, really liked the video, by the way!
