Yoko Ono turns 80, says her birthday wish is 'to stay alive'

Yoko Ono transformed herself from a divisive figure who was unfairly blamed for breaking up The Beatles (even Paul McCartney says so) to an accomplished artist who spent years building up her career. Ono turned 80 on Monday — go ahead and cringe, baby boomers, we’ll wait — and to celebrate the milestone, she told the Huffington Post her wish was, "To stay alive, healthy and wise, and dance together in peace and love. yoko." Sounds about right. Ono also asked fans to take photos of themselves with a birthday message and to tag it #smilesfilm on Instagram, as part of her project to make a film with a smiling photo of every person on the planet. For a real celebration, we also recommend rocking out to some Plastic Ono Band. [Source]
