PARIS - A solitary white piano at a John Lennon retrospective invites visitors to play the song "Imagine."

Curator Emma Lavigne said it was a deliberate effort to make people revisit the song that otherwise "you might hear in a supermarket, doing your shopping."

"The message is still there. This song is still relevant," she said. "I wanted the exhibition to be as alive as possible, so we don't say to ourselves 'he (Lennon) is in a museum.' Because I think he would have hated that."

"John Lennon, Unfinished Music," is at Paris' Cite de la Musique for the next eight months.

The exhibition is divided into two floors, one for Lennon's childhood and Beatle John years, the other — in white-themed rooms — for the latter period when he was with Yoko Ono.

1. Is There An Al Capp Lookalike Around Too?

Check out the movie "Imagine" to see this hillarious confrontation in 1969. He was a freeper before they had a name other than bigot. LOL.

5. Goldie Hawn told a story about how when she was a starlet, Al Capp

got her in a room and expected her to submit to giving him sexual favors, or her career would never advance. She says she walked out, career or no.

I never did understand why Al Capp was that influential in hollywood? He was a comic strip artist!
Imagine if someone told you you couldn't work in hollywood unless you gave a BJ to Gary Trudeau....weird.


I recall this from a tv interview with Goldie several years ago.

6. LiL Abner..."Social Commentator"

Hard to imagine, but imagine if you will...Capp was the Gary Trudeau of the depression. Lil Abner was the Doonsburry of it's time...albeit far less sophisticated, but it Capp used a lot of social satire that was very new at the time and thus became a celebrity...and social commentator.

I remember hearing him regularly on NBC radio with one rant or another...usually bitching about "kids" and his hatred for Rock 'n Roll and long hair. He was a frustrated old man.

Ironic since he also was considered a social "liberal" in the 30's...one of those New Deal Democrats who at that would later turn into Raygun Repugnicans.

2. This year is the 25th anniversary of John's murder...

I think he would very much approve of us using it as a vehicle to reconnect with our inner peacenik hippie. I think he would approve of us using it to get our message out. Just talking about him brings people to the subject of peace. We're going to hear Imagine, War is Over/(Happy Xmas), Give Peace a Chance...all because of the anniversary. It's going to put me in a funk, I always get sad on his death day...but it will be a good way to remind the neanderthals that war sucks, and it's got a lot of relevance right now. If John were here, he'd be right in the middle of everything. We certainly could have used him!

This is a very disorganized group of thoughts - not awake yet!

7. That's the I Love NY T shirt picture isn't it?
