John Lennon died on this day so we must celebrate his life.

Option #1:
Brandy Alexander – “the cocktail is known to have been John Lennon’s favorite drink. He was introduced to the drink on March 12, 1974 by Harry Nilsson, in the midst of Lennon’s so-called “lost weekend.” The pair began heckling the Smothers Brothers, and whilst being ejected Lennon allegedly assaulted a waitress. Lennon later said the drinks “tasted like milkshakes”.

Option #2:
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank ’em bot’ up

  • Option 1 makes sense but option 2? Have to listen to Nilsson, that’s all I have to say.
  • Lennon or Nilsson? Listening to them by themselves I would favor Nilsson but the Beatles trounce him every day.
  • Beatles or Stones? Stones!

For more on the Smothers Brothers. I don’t remember all that went on nor did we watch them. In 1969 I was in boarding school and TV was not something we had access to. If you read this summers Ride Around Washington report you know that the Vietnam War was something that did touch my school. If you need to catch up.
