Thanks for the heads up msLinds!

I'm 100% in. I will buy the tickets now if I can. This is beyond exciting, and MsLinds thank you for those handsome pics of Sean. How cute is this?


Yay!!! Thanks for this news! The GOASTT and then AROTR? And they wonder how the Beatles continue to inspire as generations pass.

[msLinds]

Thats great your both be going to that Nelsonville,Festival.Thanks Nico for posting those larger photographs here.The Goastt is scheduled to perform there on Saturday May 14th.You guys can buy just a one day ticket for the day if you wanted to.So you can watch the Goastt and Flaming Lips and all the other bands for that day.If you don't want to go all 3 days or the entire weekend.The Goastt has concerts scheduled for that friday before the festival and the next day sunday in other citys.I'm looking forward to some photographs of the festival.If at all possible,you don't want wait to long to buy your tickets.Because this information about the Goastt at Nelsonville is going to end on Facebook pretty soon and other message boards.I don' t know how quickly this festival will sell out.But I know the Flaming Lips must be a very popular band.The tickets to see the performances of the Goastt with Flaming Lips.Sold out completely in one day.Its still like a month away.But I have a feeling these tickets could sell out even before the festival.Everyone have a safe,positive and great upcoming week and take care.

What a fantastic thing Yoko is doing. This lady rocks hard. I don't care how many people want to hate her, she doesn't sit around and just live off her money. She's out there doing stuff and continuing the message she and her husband once did together.

Ugh, I am SO getting that book. There's a few books I still have on my wishlist pertaining to John- not a lot but there are some pretty good ones there. The "John and Yoko: A New York Love Story" is my major, major want. I could just buy it this second, but I have NO IDEA where to get it- MsLinds?

[Nico]

Found this pretty awesome interview with John and Yoko where they receive some calls from people on WPLJ New York City radio station in June of 1971. I thought it was cute and located in the interview is the famous quote by John:

"I don't regret anything I've done, apart from maybe hurting other people..."

He sounds a little more sedate/quiet than usual here, which could be because he's sick (there's a part in here where he excuses himself to throw up), but he still sounds like John. So I thought I'd share with you guys.

Here is the page where the link in found

Here is the link to the file download of the interview

Enjoy!! Tell me what you think!

Spinner: Yoko Ono on Japan’s Devastation, Dating and Discovering John Lennon’s Genius

Yoko Ono is in the midst of a critical and popular comeback at the age of 78 — she reunited the*Plastic Ono Band for a series of star-studded shows last year, was a featured speaker at SXSW last month and recently scored her sixth consecutive No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot Dance Club chart. The notorious artist, musician, cultural scapegoat, social activist, mother and widow of John Lennon has, with the grace of time, found a new generation of fans that are open to her avant-garde take on music, melody, art and life.

Incredible. I have read the letter, as it was posted a few years ago in full. I think that, at the time, they were all rather pissed at each other. And we all know John was the last one to hold back, eh? I love it. I'm excited for this book as it will be an incredible treasure trove. John's writing, like his artwork and music, is absolutely stimulating and fascinating to absorb.

Thanks so much MsLinds!!!
