john lennon yoko ono

SADLY On December 8th - YOKO ONO MOURNED THE DEATH OF JOHN LENNON ON the 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH... I WAS 7 WHEN HE DIED AND I STILL REMEMBER THIS DAY IN MY MIND. My Mum was devastated, The whole world was under pure devastation and probably always will remember him like it was only yesterday.. The song 'Imagine' has been named the most-popular John Lennon track on the 30th anniversary of his death. The track, released in 1971, topped a special chart compiled by the Performing Rights Society (PRS). Lennon's ''Happy Christmas (War Is Over)' was second and 'Jealous Guy' came third. PRS Chairman Ellis Rich said: "Lennon's iconic songs inspired and symbolised the ideals of the masses, so it's no surprise that 30 years after his death his songs are still as popular as ever.

To Start 2011 with a fresh thought, I have just a few words to say... Every band starts off unsigned.. So just remember Every free CD that unsigned band gives you, costs them money..time..& alot of effort to get you to listen to them. Play it and Enjoy it, and when you listen to your favorite famous band just remember they started off in the same place as that unsigned band giving you a free CD you have in your stereo... PLEASE Support the Unsigned.
See you all in February for our Valentine issue
