Yoko Ono: Still giving peace a chance

"A dream you dream alone is only a dream/But a dream we dream together is reality"
-- "Now or Never" by Yoko Ono, 1972.Yoko Ono's career spans six decades -- before and now long after her relationship with John Lennon. For two years, Rhonda Cooper, director of Staller Center's University Gallery, has tried to snag the "Yoko Ono Imagine Peace" traveling exhibit since she was tipped off about the show by Stony Brook University sculpture professor Nobuho Nogasawa.Now it's here. And although there's no word yet if Ono herself will appear, her son, Sean Lennon, arrives at Staller for a concert on the exhibit's final day."There's an element of nostalgia to the show," says Cooper, as she was supervising its installation. "But the peace message is very clear."

Pattie Boyd: Rock's Most Beautiful Muse

Pattie Boyd was the face of the '60s. Her blonde hair, deep bangs, long legs, and perfect pout got her on magazine covers and snared her a bit part in the Beatles' first film, A Hard Day's Night. She met George Harrison on the very first day of filming, and he asked her out—thinking that she looked exactly like Brigitte Bardot.She married the quiet Beatle, living a rarified life that few of us will ever experience. Boyd not only is famous for her iconic beauty, but for introducing the Fab Four to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and also for leaving Harrison for his best friend Eric Clapton and inspiring some of rock's most heart-torn classics like Harrison's "Something," "I Need You,” and Clapton's "Layla" and "Beautiful Tonight."
