The Globe’s Subscriber section has an offbeat story about Stephen Harper sentimentally honoring John Lennon by singing a verse of “The Ballad of John and Yoko”:
A John Lennon fan, Mr. Harper was honouring the 25th anniversary of the musician’s death and sang a verse of The Ballad of John and Yoko. He told reporters that the day has been forever etched in his mind.
I find it oddly ironic that the leader of the right wing reformers in Canada is a Lennon fan. I wonder if he has any “Ringo Starr and the All Starr Band” in his collection as well?
