As far as I'm concerned, when Lennon was shot in New York in 1980, he had already been dead for over 10 years if you know what I mean.

I watched 5 minutes of NBC's new show,
Emeril, tonight.
Before we hang bin Laden from the neck 'til dead, in order to really make known our anger, I say we make him watch this show continuously for a week before the noose is slipped around his neck.

I mean no offense to these people, but wehy don't they do a Jim Jones already...so many long faces and miserable pusses. GImme a break.
Natalie Merchant, attractive, but a mush mouth and just depressing.

I heard Kevin Spacey mouth off about gun control and the person after him talk about Watergate. I turned it off. Being curious or a glutton for punishment, I turned it back on. It was Cindi Lauper butchering Strawberry Field's. Serves me right for turning it back on.

I wonder if Spacey knows the Taliban disarmed the populace? Does he care? This is self-parody, pathetic self-parody.
Irrelevant. No joy, no hope, just turgid shoe gazing.

Kevin Spacey sings? I don't think so, he wants to but his throat has seen to much action for singing. Kevin Spacey just made my NEVER EVER EVER watch list. What a jerk. NO talk about our MILITARY boys half way across the world protecting this jerk's way of life.
This is rubbing salt in the wounds. But, it's irrelevant anyway.
Great, now a rapper. These people just want to lay around and let the world collapse around them. Cowards.

Don't worry, this was just a rehearsal. Powell is going to use the 'Noriega' play again and smoke out OBL/Taliban crew with offensively bad pop music. Well, maybe...

Cheap labor foreigners with haz mat licenses are let loose on our streets--I hope the FBI knows what it is doing there. However, Yoko Ono is permitted free run of New York City. THAT is an outrage.

They should blast Sean Lennon's last album. Charles Manson gave it two thumbs up.

I guess this tribute had been planned for over a year. What happened Sept.11 must have ruined their plans for using this to promote gun control, considering not one gun was used to kill a single person.

I was thinking more of a 'Concert for Peace' featuring all of this years Grammy winners. They could hold right there in that big soccer stadium outside Kabul.
