Well, it was the Glastonbury music festival they have in the UK in June. Some of my favorite artists will be there and I wasn't able to get tickets because they sold out so quickly.

(Oh, and go over to the Lindsey board and check out the thread about his April 22nd show. There are some clips of his new songs in there. GREATNESS LB.)

Here are some new articles on the work Yoko is doing as a activist for non violence.Its a lot of the same information in all of them.But it great to see she got into 3 different news sites about this important work.

Yoko Ono has thrown her support behind the Non-Violence Project and unveiled her interpretation of the organisation's iconic knotted gun symbol in memory of her late husband, John Lennon.The Non-Violence Project's signature logo, a gun with a knotted barrel, was created by Carl Fredrik Reutersward as a symbol of peace after the Beatles legend was gunned down in New York in December, 1980.

Snap Galleries Exhibition Reveals Unidentified Characters in Beatles Abbey Road Session

LONDON.- There is Paul Cole. An American tourist who happened to be on vacation in London in August 1969. You might find him familiar somehow. As he walked around the streets of St John’s Wood waiting for his wife that day, he stumbled across four guys being photographed on a zebra crossing. He watched for a while as they went there and back again. And again. And again. That’s how he was captured for posterity on one of the most famous photographs of all time - the the cover of the Beatles’ Abbey Road LP, standing to the left of John Lennon’s head on the album sleeve.
