What about? 

In honor of John Lennon's 75th birthday, we share this Marx-Lennon stamp from Abkhazia in the former Soviet Union, which is in the public domain on Wikimedia Commons.

Upon further review, I wonder if it's weird to congratulate John Lennon on "Yesterday"? Should we go really straight on him, like this?

John Winston Lennon was born on this day in 1940 in Liverpool, England. More on his life:    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon

I'm waiting for the bus into the office. Want to post it, Joe?

Thanks!

I think that still gives you 2 characters so should be good.

If we can fit them in, it could do with a comma and some quote marks:

Happy 75th birthday John Lennon, and congratulations on the 50th anniversary of "Yesterday" hitting #1 in the US   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon

I'm in a lecture at the moment (because when I go back to school for reunion i somehow get talked into a lecture ;) ) about the study of the Beatles and they just mentioned some anniversaries I thought could be interesting for quick tweets.

Today (October 9) is both the 50th anniversary of the Beatles song Yesterday first hitting #1 in the US ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesterday_(Beatles_song) ) as well as John Lennon's 75th birthday (  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon ).

Random draft (John Lennon is an FA and trending so probably best article to use):

Happy 75th birthday John Lennon and congratulations on the 50th anniversary of Yesterday hitting #1 in the US   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon
