Just a quick note before I go to work. Saw Come Together: A Night for John Lennon's Words and Music last night on RPN 9. This was the concert I heard about last year, which they webcast (I think). Well, better late than never. Really cool show, lots of different artists singing Lennon songs. Sean Lennon sang Julia. That was cool. He sort of reminds me of Ely Buendia (slightly kamukha). The stage was modeled after John's Ascot(?) house, I think. The white room with the ceiling-high windows, where they shot the video for Imagine, with Lennon playing the white grand piano. Kevin Spacey, who hosted the show, sang Mind Games. That was a surprise, didn't know the guy could sing. Nelly Furtado sang I forgot which song na. In any case, as usual, I couldn't understand the words she was singing even if I knew the lyrics. Her voice does have texture, though, but I'll take Natalie Merchant any day.
