Remembering John Lennon 25 Years after his death Read Daytrippin's Special Essay on John Lennon http://www.daytrippin.com/lennon65.htm ------ Rolling Stone offers John Lennon PODCAST: Hear the famous 1970 Rolling Stone interview conducted by Jann Wenner (later published in the book "Lennon Remembers") and read other special articles in a special section: Lennon Lives Forever Visit http://www.rollingstone.com/special/8877932 Hear a podcast interview with Bono discussing how influential John Lennon was to him growing up at http://www.rollingstone.com/bonovox ----- DAYTRIPPIN' mentioned in today's edition of the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, Pg. 26. The article is reprinted below: Daytrippin' over a bio's mistakes Bob Spitz's new biography, "The Beatles," has been getting some good reviews, but rabid fans of the Fab Four have been picking the book apart. Little, Brown has promised to correct 16 or so errors in the 1,000-page book after it came under attack by Beatlemaniacs. For instance, a caption in Spitz's book reads: "In a rare display of fatherhood, John shows off Julian, age 2, to Uncle Paul and Uncle Ringo." But the fan site daytrippin.com <http://www.daytrippin.com/>; points out that, in fact, "John was holding someone else's daughter. Julian, John's 10-month old son, was in Liverpool at his aunt's house." Other quibbles would probably fly by even Paul and Ringo. "'Run for Your Life' was not one of the last songs to be recorded for 'Rubber Soul'; actually it was one of the first," says daytrippin.com. Spitz's editor Geoff Shandler tells us: "These were innocent mistakes. But we like the books to be as good as they can be, and we were embarrassed about it and we promptly corrected it." Shandler argues that the nitpickers may actually be upset because Spitz doesn't "always paint a pretty picture of John. It doesn't portray him as the working-class hero that some people want him to be."

They include the Black Eyed Peas' version of "Power to the People," The Cure's take on "Love," "Isolation" by Snow Patrol and "Grow Old With Me" by The Postal Service.

More songs, including one by Lavigne, will be released next year as part of the "Make Some Noise" campaign. A compilation album also will be released. The campaign aims to "bring an awareness of human rights to a new generation," said Irene Khan, Amnesty International secretary-general. "After all, human rights are what make music possible - we wouldn't be able to create music, listen to it or dance to it without freedom of speech, expression and association," Khan said. ----- Merchandise Releases: Visit our merchandise page for a link for all products http://www.daytrippin.com/beatle_gifts.htm DVD: "Imagine", the Deluxe DVD version : the biographical movie produced by Andrew Solt released in 1988 (newly released on Dec. 6, 2005) DVD: The Dick Cavett Show: John Lennon and Yoko Ono 3 Complete Episodes of the Legendary Late-Night Dick Cavett Talk Show featuring Off-the-Cuff, Unreserved Interviews as Well as Rare Live Performances with John and Yoko DVD/CD: Concert for Bangladesh DVD: Live 8 featuring Paul McCartney CDs: Sometime in New York City and Walls and Bridges by John Lennon Book: Memories of John Lennon by Yoko Ono (December 1, 2005) Book: The Beatles 365 Days by Simon Wells CD Single: "Jenny Wren" by Paul McCartney (Nov. 21, 2005) Children's book: High in the Clouds by Paul McCartney Book: LIFE: Remembering John Lennon 25 Years Late Editors of LIFE Magazine (October 5, 2005) Book: John Lennon: All I Want Is the Truth by Elizabeth Partridge Book: JOHN by Cynthia Lennon (September 27, 2005) Book: John Lennon : The New York Years by Bob Gruen (Photographer) (October 1, 2005) 2006 Beatles Wall Calendars ---- News From "From Me To You" Beatlestore Cavern Walks Shopping Mall, Mathew Street, Liverpool L2 6RE Shrine for John Lennon The Liverpool Beatles Appreciation Society is holding an event in remembrance and celebration of one of Liverpool's greatest sons.
