With all the crazy shit going on in the world, I would like to encourage people to support this effort for Darfur. The few voices aren't being heard. Somebody has to do something - yesterday.

1. On top of which, it features fine musical talent performing...

...the material of one of our greatest songwriter/philosophers.

I second that. Buy it.

3. Can you believe it? John Lennon would have been 67!

I just bought it through Amazon:

Editorial Reviews

"John Lennon would have turned 67 in 2007. If alive, he could well be at the forefront of bringing peace to Darfur, where more than half a million have died from violence and disease during four years of rebel discord. So to create awareness of the ongoing conflict, Amnesty International (with permission from Yoko Ono) has mined Lennon's solo work and rounded up nearly two dozen current artists to reinterpret the music, which spans the ex-Beatle's entire post-band catalog (plus a pair from while the Fab Four were still in business). As with any attempt to cover Beatles-related music, results are hit and miss, with kudos going to Snow Patrol and the Postal Service for capturing the starkness of "Isolation" and "Grow Old with Me," respectively, Mexican rock band Jaguares for uncovering the fear and fury in "Gimme Some Truth," and (surprise!) Christina Aguilera for nailing the complex composition and mood of "Mother." Other highlights include Jackson Browne's piano-led "Oh My Love," Green Day's louder straight take on "Working Class Hero," and the Black Eyed Peas turning "Power to the People" into a gospelly protest. Will resurrecting 30-to-40-year-old messages of peace and love be enough to help end the brutalities in Darfur? That remains to be seen. But selecting John Lennon as the author of those messages will make people listen and, with this collection, may keep them listening." --Scott Holter

7. Green Day's version of "Working Hero" is worth the price of the entire CD!

8. I was only 10 when Lennon was killed

Four years later I heard Sgt. Pepper and my life changed forever. It wasn't until my teenage years that I understood the full extent of what the world had lost on December 8 1980.

A month or so ago I saw "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" and couldn't get over the thought that what we really need, right now, is for John Lennon to be alive. I hope there's an alternate universe somewhere where right now John's leading the fight against encroaching fascism in the United States.

Also, I can't wait to hear Green Day's take on Working Class Hero.
