Pondering Peace..

This is the cover of Yoko Ono's Album; "Season Of Glass" I always loved this image. These are the glasses John Lennon was wearing when Mark David Chapman shot him outside the Dakota Hotel on December 8, 1980. You can still see the blood.
The shot was taken by Yoko. She placed the glass on a window sill over-looking Central Park, one of Johns favorite places to be. It really makes you think..
I had the opportunity to see the original photo at the John Lennon Exhibit in New York recently. And ever since then, i cant seem to get this image out of my head..
We'll miss you John..

And You Said You Loved Me..

It's been years since anyone really thought Jack and Meg White were actual siblings. But by all appearances, the two are family.

According to a statement on the White Stripes' websitevia MTV), Meg White married Jackson Smith, the son of Patti Smith and the late MC5 guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith, on May 22. The two were married in Jack White's Nashville backyard. "A small party of close friends and relatives" attended. In general, ex-husbands don't open up their homes for their ex-wives' weddings, but then again, they don't usually continue playing in a band together after they split up, either.
According to the Stripes' site, the nuptials were a double wedding: "Little" Jackie Lawrence, the bassist for the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather, married his girlfriend Jo McCaughey at the ceremony. According to the Stripes' website, "the wedding was officiated by the most reverend Benjamin Swank." MTV reports that Swank is probably former Soledad Brothers drummer Benjamin "Swank" Smith. More evidence that these two crazy kids still get along: As we reported earlier this month, Jack told Music Radar that another White Stripes album "won't be too far off. Maybe next year." ~Pitchfork Media

New York Lennon Experience

I figure i'd recap my recent trip to NYC... I went to the john Lennon Exhibit at the Rock N' Roll Annex. I went with Niki, Shannon, Greg and Kayln. It was a good time. The exhibit was interesting. It started of with a wall of name plates of artists that have been inducted over the years. Each name lit up according to what song was playing. Then the doors opened..Theres was a lot to see before we got to the Lennon exhibit. They had Bruce Springsteen's first car, a room full of CBGB's relics (including a urinal) and a lot of other stuff.
Then came the Lennon room..the brainchild of Yoko Ono. They had hand-written lyrics, rare photos, movies and the most interesting display..Lennon's bag of clothes he was wearing when he was shot. Unfortunately, they would allow any photos. If you ask me..everything in that gallery should be public domain. In all, it was a good time.
Afterwards, we went to ground zero. Its still a hole in the ground. It was only a few hours and it was already time to go. I hate leaving new york. And thats that..
Check out some pics.. NYC '09
