"You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one,
I hope someday you'll join us,
And the world will be as one."

No country, no possessions, no religion--nothing to kill or die for; what a vision! Happy birthday, John Lennon! We still celebrate and pray for your dream.

One of our biggest Rock stations threw open their phone so fans could commiserate togther on the radio w the DJs. There was who ever was on then, possible one more for the next shift. It's possible more came in to be togther.

At least we had each other through the airways.
