The
late
great
John
Lennon
can
well
be
described
as
a
well
of
inspiration
in
the
whole
rock
'n'
roll
world.
He
had
been
a
part
of
The
Beatles,
arguably
the
biggest
band
of
their
ilk.
John"s
later
work
was
also
well
appreciated
and
still
today
this
God
among
musicians
exemplifies
a
sense
of
immaculate
musical
genius.
Billboard.com
has
decided
to
hold
a
contest
to
mark
his
70th
birth
anniversary
on
the
9th
of
October.
The
contest
seeks
to
find
that
one
person
who
can
truly
rock
on
a
Lennon
tune.
The
search
is
on
for
the
best
original
performance
of
a
John
Lennon
or
a
Beatles
song
by
any
fan
from
around
the
world.
All
a
person
has
to
do
to
enter
this
contest
is
to
just
send
a
video
of
him
or
her
playing
a
Beatles
or
a
Lennon
tune
solo
or
with
a
band.
The
best
of
the
lot
would
be
announced
in
a
forthcoming
issue
of
the
Billboard
magazine
and
at
the
same
time
would
also
be
featured
on
the
website
of
Billboard
as
a
part
of
the
exclusive
Birthday
package
for
John
Lennon.
A
really
big
package
also
awaits

been
recently
reissued
by
the

The
People" collection

Lennon
Box
Of
Vision
where
all
your
Lennon
music
can
