Happy birthday greetings to @johnlennon from Taiwan. My wife and I are taking in some of his tunes late this evening, and there are so many that shine. Peace and love drove the man and Yoko. We are all better, whether intimates or admirers, for what he gave us ❤️!

Visited the restored Zhongshan Theatre in Zuoying today 🎭 Once a 1950 naval hall/cinema, it reopened in 2024 as a hub for traditional arts. Saw 國姓之鬼, a surreal retelling of Koxinga (鄭成功/國姓爺), a Ming hero who booted the Dutch in 1662. History, ghosts & legend on stage!
