LENNON BIRTHDAY MARKED BY PEACE EVENTS
	

The anniversary of what would have been JOHN LENNON's 66th birthday
next month (09OCT06) will be celebrated with two international peace
events organised by the star's widow YOKO ONO. The former BEATLES
legend will be honoured with an 'Imagine Peace Tower', which is being
constructed in Reykjavik, Iceland, while the LennonOno Grant For Peace
will give out prizes of $50,000 (GBP30,000) to Medecins Sans
Frontieres and the Centre for Constitutional Rights, in a bid to
support causes close to the heart of the late icon. Ono says, "These
groups look beyond today's conflicts and destruction and envision a
positive future for our society, while working selflessly and
tirelessly towards establishing a more peaceful environment for our
planet. "They are strong representatives of the many groups who are
working in the same direction, today. They need and deserve all of our
support and respect. "Each one of us was born at this time, not by
chance, but to fulfil a mission. Our work is not yet done. "I know
that John's spirit will be joining us on that day, October 9th, in
Reykjavik and I look forward to seeing you there to celebrate this
exciting day. WAR IS OVER, if you want it. I love you."

Trust your intuition
It's just like going fishing
You cast your line
And hope you're getting a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night
