Yoko Ono's 73rd birthday was February 18th 2006. She celebrated her birthday by performing with friends in Paris.

"You guys are counting it, not me"

Yoko about birthdays to Jody Denberg in 2002: "I have no thoughts about my birthdays, okay, because you guys might be counting it, but I'm not counting. First of all, time is a man-made concept. And basically, I don't usually get concerned about age or the year measure. I don't think about it that way. I think in terms of a week. I think, oh, this week, I have to do this, this, and that. That's all I think!"

Still, happy birthday, Yoko, and keep dancing!
