A message from Yoko Ono

Yoko Ono is doing a wonderful job at keeping John Lennon's memory and message alive.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Instant Karma: The Campaign To Save Darfur is Amnesty International's new "Make Some Noise" campaign. In the spirit of peace high profile artists came together in one tribute album covering songs by John Lennon. Proceeds from this album go to aid Amnesty International in the fight to Save Darfur, Sudan.

I saw a recent interview with Yoko on Larry King Live, "The Beatles Reunion"- also with Paul, Ringo, and George Harrison's widow Olivia - to celebrate the 1st anniversary of Cirque du Soleil's Beatles "Love" show. (It's on Youtube.) She talked a little bit about protecting John.

Larry King asked Yoko about John Lennon's death and if it gets any easier and how she feels seeing John (photos, video, etc.)- and she responded that even after all this time, when she saw the "Love" stage she thought of John and got choked up. Larry King being the horrible interviewer he is, just kept going down his list of questions, (looking down at his notepad) and never bothered to say anything in response or have a follow up question. He didn't even acknowledge Yoko's response. Just awful! (Btw: Larry King also flubbed his interview when he asked Ringo a question and referred to him as George. Paul wouldn't let him forget his mistake.)

"Real Love" for my Love

Regina Spektor performs a cover of John Lennon's "Real Love".

You can find the recorded version on John Lennon tribute album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur.

Still thinking about our conversation last night...what a lovely thought - we'll never be alone because a part of us will always be together.

It brings tears to my eyes...listening to this beautiful song and thinking of you.

All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

All the little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for love

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love

Don't need to be afraid
No need to be afraid

It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real

Thought I'd been in love before,
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

It's real love
Yes it's real, yes it's real love
It's real, yes it's real love...
