Nobel Prize to a Working Class Hero

1.) In honor of John Lennon's Birthday, listen to Marianne Faithful do a great version of "Working Class Hero." (It really is something to be).



2.) Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for Diplomacy. Rock on, Obama. You are my hero. From NYT: "OSLO — The Nobel Committee announced Friday that the annual peace prize was awarded to Barack Obama just nine months into his presidency, “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” The award cited in particular Mr. Obama’s effort to reduce the world’s nuclear arsenal. “He has created a new international climate,” the committee said. Here's what Obama said...diplomatic, real, honest, humbled, and a statement of being undeserving. Honored that he is our president.



3.) And in the vein of peace, Imagine...



4.) Peace to you and yours this soft October day, and best wishes for an inspired and relaxing weekend.
