an extraordinary gift from yoko ono...

you know there are many artists who sell their music rights to corporations for the big bucks (the doors being a noticeable exception to this trend)...and when my activist friend steve earle's song the revolution starts now became a chevy truck song i nearly s__t my pants (but with all due respect his alimony obligations are way out there and he's dome tremendous things for the anti-war, anti-death penalty, and ban the landmine movements)...

however one notable exception led to amnesty international usa creating the make some noise campaign...

yoko gave the recording rights to “imagine” and john lennon’s entire solo songbook to amnesty international to utilize for is human rights work...through this amazingly selfless gift amnesty international is harnessing the power of music to inspire a new generation to stand up for human rights...

you rock yoko - oh yes you do...so check out our hommage to john right now...

the aim to attract one million new supporters worldwide... not by talking about the past, tugging on the heartstrings, or show images of suffering, but by making a positive impact on our world and collectively raise all our voices to make as much noise as we can for human rights....

so check out music by afroreggae, the black eyed peas, dobacaracol, jaguares, k-os, maroon 5, snow patrol, the cure, the postal service, and more...

check out a free video from the us vs john lennon...exclusive lennon covers, artist videos and opportunities to make an impact, it's time to inspire a new generation to stand up for human rights...


peace out <3
