(The latter dropped out of the band, remained in Hamburg, but soon died from a brain aneurysm). Lennon later used the picture for the cover art of the album <em>Rock&#8217;n Roll<\/em> (1975), on which he bills himself as &#8220;Dr. Winston O&#8217;Boogie&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div id=\"apf_post_footer\">\n<h4>Related Articles:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"apf_footer\"><a href=\"http:\/\/reinhardkargl.com\/iBlog\/?p=3442\">Cover of LIFE Magazine, 1941<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"apf_footer\"><a href=\"http:\/\/reinhardkargl.com\/iBlog\/?p=3419\">Weren&#8217;t They Funny?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"apf_footer\"><a href=\"http:\/\/reinhardkargl.com\/iBlog\/?p=3372\">70 Years Ago<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"apf_footer\"><a href=\"http:\/\/reinhardkargl.com\/iBlog\/?p=3265\">A Letter From Mrs. Rayburn<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"apf_footer\"><a href=\"http:\/\/reinhardkargl.com\/iBlog\/?p=3257\">Cat On The Moon<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Lennon would have turned 70 years old tomorrow (Oct. 9).
