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
