last night i performed at a tribute to john lennon at radio city music hall.
i’ve done lots of awards shows and tribute shows in my life, but this one was really special.
it’s hard to write about john lennon, because he was such a remarkable man and musician and humanitarian. what an amazing man he must’ve been. so talented and humble, and if ever anyone used their fame to good effect, it was him.
i was particularly honored to actually wear one of his shirts while i performed. sean loaned me a ‘plastic ono band’ shirt that had been john lennon’s and still had john’s sweat stains on it…that really meant a lot to me, and i’ve never held an item of clothing with such reverence.
i’m really proud to have been involved in such a special event. everybody involved was there out of a love for john lennon and his music and ideals, and of course to pay tribute to him and to new york city. the opening film montage of john walking around new york city left almost everyone with tears in their eyes. it was a special evening, so thanks.
