POPSJohn Lennon film brings London festival to an end LONDON (Reuters) - The London film festival closes on Thursday with the world premiere of "Nowhere Boy," about John Lennon's rebellious teenage years and his torrid relationship with his aunt and mother before the Beatles were formed. The directorial debut of video artist Sam Taylor-Wood, the movie stars Aaron Johnson as an angry, confused Lennon who struggles to understand why his mother Julia left him with his aunt Mimi when he was a small boy. The film plays on the contrast between his "buttoned-up," straight-laced aunt, played by Kristin Scott Thomas, and his fun-loving mother (Anne-Marie Duff) who encourages him to listen to rock'n'roll and teaches him the banjo. Asked how reliable her account of the star's troubled youth was, Taylor-Wood told BBC Radio:

POPSImagine Peace The electricity for the light is generated entirely naturally - geothermally from hot water - at the Hellisheidi Geothermal Power Plant and is one of the reasons for situating the artwork in Iceland. The Imagine Peace Tower is closely connected to Ono's interactive artwork Wish Tree from 1981. The Wish Tree has been integral to many of Yoko's exhibitions around the world in museums and cultural centers where people have been invited to write their personal wishes for peace and tie them to a tree branch. Now amounting to over 700,000 wishes. They are to be housed at the Imagine Peace Tower. EarthCam visitors are invited to send wishes to the Imagine Peace Tower archives by email to wish@imaginepeace.com or by mail to: IMAGINE PEACE TOWER PO Box 1009 121 Reykjavik, Iceland. You can send as many wishes as you like, as often as you like. The site also has many live cams up all over the world, wicked cool stuff!

POPSRemember Cassette Tapes? These Are Amazing! Ghost in the Machine: "In this series I showcase a number of portraits of musicians made out of recycled cassette tape with original cassette. Also included are portraits made from old film and reels. The idea comes from a philosopher's (Ryle) description of how your spirit lives in your body. I imagine we are all, like cassettes, thoughts wrapped up in awkward packaging." : )

POPSThe Worst Song In the World The most galling thing about “Imagine” is how it urges the listener to assume the mantle of that “dreamer,” thereby joining the ranks of the free spirits, bohemians and other assorted loafers, chislers and social parasites who are only too happy to belly up to the table that is our society but who are nowhere to be found when the check arrives: “Sorry, I can’t be bothered to work to build something or to fight to defend anything – you see, I’m a dreamer, so you just let me know when you’ve gotten everything ready for me to enjoy. Until then, I’ll be here relaxing on my parents’ sofa, pretending to read Gravity’s Rainbow. ”

POPSTop 25 YouTube Beatles Hits 
Perhaps because of yesterday's release of software: Beatles: Rock Band, a mag put together this list. If you want to enjoy and watch 25 Beatles tunes, this page got it. MY favorite, clipped here, is number 18 (gasp!) so I wouldn't get all uptight insisting Number One on this list is Absolutely Number One best Beatles tunes....everyone has and certainly entitled to their own faves. There seems to be a certain "sober joy," in the author's choices. I was glad to see "Imagine," was not here -- somehow, after John Lennon's murder, the Rolling Stone put it on the cover (along with that 'unbalanced,' Leibovitz photo) and suddenly this was the "Image," of the Beatles, but way off the mark, imo. They were a little more fun than that, a little more raucous, a little more Liverpool Caravan Club, a little more Hamburg Pub, a little more irreverent, a little more playful. (I saw "Love," in Las Vegas....that was pretty cool. All their movies full of fun. A great band, nice guys. Ve
