    Yoko Ono campaign to raise hunger awareness

    NEW YORK (AP) — Yoko Ono is launching a global campaign to raise money and awareness to help fight childhood hunger and poverty.

    The 78-year-old widow of John Lennon is asking that on Nov. 1, at 1 p.m. EDT (1700 GMT), people "take a moment to imagine a nourished and abundant world, where 'the world will live as one.'"

    Hard Rock International and WhyHunger are partners with Ono for the campaign called "Imagine There's No Hunger." Various Hard Rock locations will host events on that day aimed at raising awareness.

    Sunday would have been Lennon's 71st birthday, and Tuesday is the 40th anniversary of his song "Imagine," which Ono co-produced.

    A limited-edition bracelet will go on sale to support the campaign's efforts and people can also text the word "Imagine" to 50555 to donate.

      Wonder how many meals ole' Yoko has missed. The ones that have the MOST preach to the rest of Us how much WE should give away. Can U imagine Her monthly Royalty check from all those Songs John wrote and performed., Mind blowing.
      Never cared for Yoko, I'm glad that John liked Her though, She seemed to make Him happy so long, long, ago.

      Tuesday is the 40th anniversary of his song "Imagine," which Ono co-produced?!?!? You mean two multimillionaires created the song and played “Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can…” Ha, Ha, Ha … C’mon Isn't this Enough Irony? John was supposed to stick with the Love Songs like Paul :)

      From Yoko Ono's elegant home, a suite in the exclusive Dakota, she lets us know that money isn't really what we should be interested in. "I'm John Lennon's widow, " she repeats (and repeats) "and you should feed the hungry, or at least do performace art."

      YES! Go Yoko. And just when you thought Paul's fake-as& marriage was going to selfishly outshine John's birthday, etc. John is in the Heavenly Stars shining proud on you! And humble.

      I am sort of bewildered by all this hating towards Yoko. Most were not even born or even a daddy thought yet when the Beatles first walked on stage. If you really followed John's life you would know she was the one thing in his life that gave him total peace until the very end. She has millions? so what. I have seen others do virtually nothing for their mate, still cash the check, and people call them saints. Yoko did NOT break up the Beatles. Watch some of their later film clips, and you will see the real reason is they just burned out. Not to mention getting on each other's nerves. They simply wanted to go their own ways, they were tired of being a group, and not individuals. Not one of the other fab 4 ever mentioned Yoko as any reason for the demise of the Beatles. If they did, feel free to quote them on it. They decided that on their own. The tabloids is the ones that started that ball of crap, and ran with it. So if you loved John, try at least showing a little love for the person that gave him the happiest times of his life :)

        Wow, all these years later & people still begrudge Lennon a life, even in death. He did not live to please you, move on.

We know they couldn't Imagine no possesions... at least when Christ imagined no possesions He meant it :) John was supposed to stick with the Love Songs like Paul :)

      Instead of imagining, how about doing! Hope she will be kicking in some big bucks herself!

      This little chink #$%$ who single handedly broke up the Beatles and then ended up with all of Lennon's money should make those who are hungry aware of her own BIG bank account. Try to 'imagine' that Yucko One-O. Reminds me of OblameO. Just another A hole trying to suck money out of everyone else's pocket.
