For those about my age, you surely still remember John Lennon who, if alive, would be celebrating his 70th birthday. Due to his influence through music / lyrics and political / peaceful messages, this date is being marked worldwide with different events (special concerts, museum exhibits, CD reissues, a monument in Liverpool - the legendary musician's hometown - even in Iceland with a ceremony hosted by Yoko Ono) as well as by Google with this special interactive doodle playing his famous song Imagine.
As a teacher I've already introduced some of his songs in classes - namely the one already mentioned with the topic war / peace,  Happy Christmas, Woman,...
As for kids / teens, many have already heard his songs on TV, in ads or heard parents referring or listening to John Lennon in his solo career or most certainly to the Beatles, the band he himself described in 1966 as having become "more famous than Jesus".
