Time BBC'ers can ask Mark all about his latest DVD,
Mark’s new CD "The
Artist" is on sale now. Ask Mark about it! They were touring until Tyler fell off the stage during a gig and dislocated his shoulder. Well, that’s one way to end the tour, even though Mark still says, “ Sometimes I feel like I'm becoming Steven Tyler with smaller lips and maybe a bigger ... never mind.” |

Lucy Vodden's connection
to the Beatles dates back to her early days, when she made friends
with schoolmate Julian Lennon, John Lennon's son. Back when he
was then four years old, Julian came home from school with a drawing
one day, showed it to his father, and said it was "Lucy in
the sky with diamonds." Rock music critics thought the song's
title was a veiled reference to LSD, because its initials were
the same as the halucinogenic drug, but John Lennon always maintained
the phrase came from his son, not from a desire to spell out the
initials LSD in code. Vodden lost touch with Julian Lennon after
he left the school following his parents' divorce, but they were
reunited in recent years when Julian Lennon, who lives in France,
tried to help her cope with the disease. He sent her flowers and
vouchers for use at a gardening center near her home in Surrey
in southeast England, and frequently sent her text messages in
an effort to buttress her spirits. "I wasn't sure at first how to
approach her," Julian Lennon told the Associated Press in
June. "I wanted at least to get a note to her. Then I heard
she had a great love of gardening, and I thought I'd help with
something she's passionate about, and I love gardening too. I
wanted to do something to put a smile on her face." In recent months, Vodden was too ill
to go out most of the time, except for hospital visits. She enjoyed
her link to the Beatles, but was not particularly fond of "Lucy
in the Sky with Diamonds." Vodden is the latest in a long line
of people connected to the Beatles who died at a relatively young
age. The list includes John Lennon, gunned down at age 40, manager
Brian Epstein, who died of a drug overdose when he was 32, and
original band member Stuart Sutcliffe, who died of a brain hemorrhage
at age 21. Angie Davidson, a lupus sufferer who
is campaign director of the St. Thomas' Lupus Trust, said Vodden
was "a real fighter" who had worked behind the scenes
to support efforts to combat the disease.

Where: Old
School Square Cultural Arts Center Vintage Gymnasium Building
(corner of NE 1st St. and NE 1st Ave.) Delray
Beach, FL But mostly they talked about peace and lorded over
the chaos in a room crammed tight with star-struck kids, reporters,
disc jockeys, Hare Krishnas, Timothy Leary, Tommy Smothers, Dick
Gregory, Al Capp, Murray the K and others. They used their bed
as a way to put themselves and their message in the center of
a searing spotlight, demonstrating through their vulnerability
and openness their unrelenting support for their beliefs. No celebrity
couple had ever used their bed as a place of protest, nor had
anyone before been so available in person and by telephone to
the world. “We’re going to sell peace the way
other people sell soap,” Lennon said to Gerry Deiter, a young,
accomplished photographer on assignment for Life magazine. Deiter
was our eyes in that hotel room, the only photographer there for
the entire eight days of the bed-in. He was determined to capture
the essence of the scene — in particular the love between
the newlyweds in many intimate moments. As a photojournalist,
Deiter’s documentary-style photographs illustrate John and
Yoko’s commitment to each other and their desire to break
down barriers between power, celebrity, status and convention
in a sincere desire to end war and violence in the world. Old School Square Cultural Center (www.oldschool.org) and ArtVision Exhibitions (www.artvisionexhibitions.com) invite visitors to join in the week-long celebration. It is a rare opportunity to experience the exhibit, which recently made a major impact in both Liverpool, UK and at The Museum at Bethel Woods, (Woodstock site) NY. “These images were hidden away for over 35 years.
It’s like sitting on the edge of the bed and watching history
unfold” said Ms. Rehberg. “We’ve also had a huge
response to our plan to show student art inspired by the idea
of peace”. The era comes to life with Bed-in contributor
interviews, live musical performances with bands “910”
and “The School of Rock”, historic instruments courtesy
of Beatle memorabilia collectors Bill and Jacki Haack, and whimsical
illustrations by former Disney animator Stephen Austin. Visitors will have the opportunity to place
their written message for world peace on the exhibit’s Wish
Tree which will be sent to Yoko Ono, enter the recreated bed-in
suite from the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, purchase rare exhibition
art, and attend readings and book signing events with curator
Joan E. Athey of Victoria British Columbia. Special Events Monday, Oct. 5 Tuesday, Oct. 6 Wednesday, Oct. 7 Thursday, Oct. 8 Friday, Oct. 9 Saturday, Oct. 10 Sunday, Oct. 11 For a complete listing of exhibition special events, visit www.artvisionexhibitions.com or www.oldschool.org: contact Melissa Carter at mcarter@oldschool.org

Lenny Bruce is one of the celebrities immortalized on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and when we received a call from Lenny’s daughter, Kitty, to help promote her project, "Lenny’s House", we thought … how neat is this? Lenny Bruce was
the mentor of many comics and celebrities who began their entertainment
career during the 50s and 60s. He was extremely controversial
for his time. It wasn’t until many years later when other
comedians like George Carlin were able to publicize similar “LB
material.” He was the only person ever granted a posthumous
pardon in New York state's history. Governor Pataki claimed his
act was "a declaration of New York's commitment to upholding
the First Amendment."

as a psychedelic masterpiece, replete with haunting images of
"newspaper taxis" and a "girl with kaleidoscope
eyes."

solo career as a singer, songwriter, musical collaborator and
