Yoko Ono has asked people around the world to join in celebration of John Lennon's birthday by tweeting peace and birthday wishes to the Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland at @iptower.
"We hope to create a shift in global consciousness for peace in John Lennon's memory," said the note from a representative of Yoko Ono we received Sunday. "We are gathering all the wishes from Twitter and they are being sent to Imagine Peace Tower."
Ono will be in Iceland on Oct. 9 to perform in a concert with the Plastic Ono Band and also attend a lighting of the Imagine Peace Tower in Lennon's honor to mark the occasion. There will be a live feed of the lighting online at http://www.imaginepeace.com.
Ono also has asked that the word about the tweeting effort also be spread "as far and wide as possible."
