80 years old (Born on May 16, 1944)
Happy Birthday, Jon! May your birthday be as legendary and enduring as your relentless pursuit to expose the FBI's fascination with John Lennon. Thanks for showing us that if anyone could turn dusty government files into thrilling historical intrigue, it’s you!Your groundbreaking investigative work continues to inspire countless scholars—and annoy at least a handful of suits in Washington—to this day. As another year joins history, may you celebrate surrounded by good music, laughter (preferably aimed at bureaucratic absurdities), and perhaps just enough cake crumbs on confidential documents to keep things exciting.
Cheers—stay curious...and stay rebellious!
