http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/ Scroll down to "music".
A year ago a DVD collection of John Lennon clips came on the market as well as a new best of CD.
The news two weeks ago was "26 years since Lennon was killed". As well as 26 since the vigil in Central Park.
After that it was Yoko Ono being threatend by her chauffer.
Now CNN reports that the FBI has finally decidsed to release some long hidden files about John Lennon in the U.S. during the early 1970's and his "activities".
Part of it deals with the fear thathis song "Power To The People" could be dangerous! :rolleyes: Not surprising they'd think that,being Lennon was such an activist/protestor.
While this is big news,it's strange that all this is coming about now. Anyone think it could be a "certain spirit" at work to make sure John's not forgotten? Wouldn't surprise me.
Last bit of news,a new group called The Fray has done a new cover version of "Happy Xmas,War Is Over". I haven't heard it yet but it is sitting at #50 on th Billboard Hot 100 w/a "bullet".
(No sick & wrong pun intended,by the way,that's just the term! :( ) I hope they do it justice.
Also,side question here. Does anyone agree that if John had lost his battle with immigration,he'd still be here? Been me..later! :cool:
