On this day in 1971, John Lennon releases "Imagine". Also worth a 'goo'. Lennon would have been 70 on the 2nd of October.

Oliver Bond St. Dublin

Every day I'm in Dublin, my drive down OB St. coincides with the waking of one of it's street residents. I've not spoke to him, don't know his name but from a distance, I've admired his dignity and resilience. This is his home. In this time of hardship, it's people like the man that sleeps in this doorway that make me appreciate my good fortune. If you sleep in a bed, have a roof over your head and a fridge to put your milk and cheese in ... then you are better-off than 75% of the people in the world.
