Strawberry Fields Forever - Tribute to John Lennon

Fans and visitors all over that world will pay homage to late Beatle, John Lennon, at Strawberry Fields on his birthday on 09 October and death anniversary on this date.

Strawberry Fields, named after the Beatles song "Strawberry Fields Forever", is located near Central Park West New York between 71st and 74th Streets.  The teardrop shaped region was re-landscaped by the Central Park Conservancy with the help of landscape architect Bruce Kelley and a generous $1 million donation from Yoko Ono as a memorial to her husband, the late John Lennon, after his murder in front of the Dakota apartment house on Central Park West in 1980.

The iconic black and white Imagine mosaic, designed by a team of artists from the Italian city of Naples,  lies in the center of Strawberry Fields.  Named after another famous song by John Lennon, "Imagine" evokes a vision and hope for a world without strife, war and conflict. Additionally, there is a bronze plaque that lists the more than 120 countries that planted flowers and donated money for the maintenance of the area; they have also endorsed Strawberry Fields as a Garden of Peace.

You can now own a reprint of John Lennon's Death Certificate at ebay from US $3.25.

We Can Be Anything - Apl.De.Ap

This song, "We Can Be Anything" performed by Black Eyed Peas' Apl.De.Ap, caught my attention during the 2011 MAMA in Singapore.  The song had a message that with education, you can achieve and be in a better life.

We Can Be Anything is an education advocacy campaign, born of a partnership between the Apl.de.Ap Foundation (AdAF) and the Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation (NCAF).

You can now help by donating generously in this initiative at "We Can Be Anything" official website.

Black Eyed Peas Autograph PSA/DNA

They won Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group from 2004 - 2006 and 2009 for Let's Get it Started, Don't Phunk with My Heart, My Humps and I Gotta Feeling.  They also won Best Pop Vocal Album (The E.N.D.) and Best Short Form Music Video (Boom Boom Pow) in 2009.

My personal favorite is "Where is the Love?"  This song is written in late 2001 about the state of post 9/11 which all but calls for US withdrawal from Iraq.  This song was co-written by Justin Timberlake who also sang on the track.  He came up the chorus after hearing the song on the phone.

In July 2011, the group announced that they are taking a break and denied rumors that the group has broken up.

Now you can own their signed autograph from US $350 at ebay.

 The photo will come with a Certificate of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
