His work as a great musician, poet, thinker, has touched the whole world and continues to do so. There was more coverage on the news today of the anniversary of his death than there was of Pearl Harbor day yesterday.
I find his outside the box political activism particularly inspiring. His cause expressed again and again:
"All We Need is Love." Peace, love and understanding are what he stood up for.
In that spirit I thought these 2 offerings by others expressing his words for social causes really capture the feeling of what he was saying in so many ways in so many songs.
Remembering this version sung in the America Tribute for Heroes concert for victims of 9/11:
He's still singing from here:
Thank you, Dianna.
