John can't HELP but be number one ;D You should be THANKFUL! "Yoko has created an IMAGINE PEACE billboard as part of the Samek exhibition. It is on view on Pennsylvania Route 15 about one mile north of Interstate Route 80, facing southbound traffic (7.5 miles North of Bucknell). " John \jo-hn\ as a boy's name is pronounced jahn. It is of Hebrew origin, and the meaning of John is " God is gracious" h'yeah!  Peace on Earth  If you want it. |

Who does Yoko remind us of from this shot of her from her days with Fluxus?  Interesting that her and MJ own(ed) so much of the Beatles' music and memorabilia. |
