Yoko Ono: On Lennon, Peace and New Music
Friday, Oct. 5, 2001; 10:30 a.m. EDT
AUDIO INTERVIEW
"Come Together: A Night For John Lennon's Words & Music," broadcast Tuesday with a repeat airing Thursday (Oct. 4) on TNT, was originally a concert conceived by Yoko Ono motivated by a concern about youth violence. But on Sept. 11, things changed and so did its mission. It became a concert of prayer and healing dedicated to New York City and its people and benefited relief organizations such as the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Twin Towers Fund and the Violence Policy Center.
Yoko Ono was online Friday, Oct. 5, at 10:30 a.m. EDT, to discuss this week's benefit concert, her husband's message of peace and her first new album release in five years, "Blueprint For A Sunrise."
Listen to the AUDIO INTERVIEW.
Ono's new album has just been released and was borne of three tracks which she recorded for inclusion in the book/DVD accompanying her retrospective art exhibition currently touring the world.
Ono and Lennon met in 1966, married in 1969 and expressed their stand for love and peace through many projects including the single, "Give Peace a Chance" and albums such as "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band," "Imagine" and "Double Fantasy."
