Few performers have reached the status of Bob Dylan -- a multi-generational force; his name evokes images and memories of the folk revival, social protest, and the development of rock music as an art form. Bob Dylan's American Journey, 1956-1966, curated by EMP's Ann Powers, captures a singular artist as he made history in the throes of social change taking place around the country. The exhibit will include extensive material from the Bob Dylan Archives, EMP's own collection, as well artifacts from private collectors from around the world. "This is the first time a nationally recognized cultural institution has taken on the telling of Bob Dylan's story," said Matt Ellis of the Dylan Archives. "We are very pleased that Experience Music Project, one of the most innovative music museums in the world, has taken on this important project." The exhibit will showcase handwritten letters and lyrics and musical instruments as well as capture Dylan's interest in Americana -- playing off classic imagery that he has mined in his music: the railroad, the highway, and the carnival. Rock and folk's greatest visual chroniclers, including D.A. Pennebaker, Daniel Kramer, and John Cohen, will be prominently featured throughout the show. Bob Dylan's American Journey, 1956-1966 will also feature an audio tour and interactive kiosks, as well as extensive education materials available to teachers and scholars across the country. http://www.morganlibrary.org/ ----- Bob Dylan hosts radio show exclusively for XM Satellite Radio The weekly hour-long music show features an eclectic mix of music hand-selected by Dylan.

The IMAGINE PEACE Tower, which was envisioned by Ms Ono over 40 years ago, has plans to be constructed in Reykjav?k. Through the collective efforts of the Reykjav?k Art Museum and the City of Reykjav?k the dedication of the site for this tower will be held on the picturesque Icelandic island of Videy. The base of the IMAGINE PEACE Tower will be filled with prayers and wishes from people of all nations and will serve as a beacon of light for all people who dream of world peace. "Each one of us was born at this time, not by chance, but to fulfill a mission. Our work is not yet done. I know that John's spirit will be joining us on that day, October 9th, in Reykjav?k and I look forward to seeing you there to celebrate this exciting day. WAR IS OVER, if you want it. I love you." - yoko ono And in a full-page advertisement appearing November 26, 2006 in The New York Times, Yoko Ono urged readers to mark the anniversary of John Lennon's death by apologizing to those who have suffered due to violence and war. "Every year, let's make December 8th the day to ask for forgiveness from those who suffered the insufferable," writes Yoko. In the open letter, Ono urges readers to take responsibility for failing to intervene on behalf of victims around the world. "Know that the physical and mental abuse you have endured will have a lingering effect on our society," she writes in a portion of the letter directed to victims. "Know that the burden is ours." Of her own loss, Ono says: "I don't know if I am ready yet to forgive the one who pulled the trigger. ... But healing is what is urgently needed now in the world." "Let's wish strongly that one day we will be able to say that we healed ourselves, and by healing ourselves, we healed the world." ----- Daytrippin' Rock and Roll Tours sponsors New York City Walking Tours for Beatles and Bob Dylan sights For more information, visit http://www.rockandrolltours.com -------- This message has been brought to you by Daytrippin' P.O.
