Julian Lennon
What’s a extra excellent illustration of how the outdated world and the brand new world are colliding than this: Ukraine is invaded by its neighbor Russia who came to visit with tanks, missiles and rifle bearing troopers desiring to take possession of their nation by overwhelming bodily power. The remainder of the world, collaborating over satellite tv for pc allow communication functions and complicated laptop software program created a collection of punishing sanctions isolating the invader. Then, to lift cash in assist of the Ukrainian resistance, Julian Lennon went into the deep archive for his father’s basic music Think about, rerecorded it, repurposed it and is placing it out in to the ether as an NFT the proceeds of which can go to Ukrainian aid.

The NFT of Think about, together with Julian singing the music, his narration, and a few extra supplies can be up on the market for eleven days beginning Friday, June 20, 2022. The value is barely $11. That’s barely the worth of lunch at Chipotle. We’re buying and selling the worth of burritos to struggle bombs right here. That’s the facility of this new world. Evil has no place to cover in a world the place everybody owns a lightweight and a magnifying glass.
Take into consideration this: Julian utilizing nothing greater than the facility of music and the expertise which flows via his bloodline is about to share a basic musical second from historical past with everybody who has $11 to assist Ukraine. Who wouldn’t need to be a part of that motion?
The NFT sale is being dealt with by YellowHeart, the quick rising Web3 firm helmed by Josh Katz. YellowHeart is all about ticketing, NFTs and constructing the infrastructure to accommodate what the metaverse will develop into.
Katz and his crew are within the midst of hockey stick progress, as this nook of expertise is changing how issues as soon as had been with what they need to be. In a way, Web3 is as transformative because the printing press as soon as was. It’s the infrastructure to create, custody and distribute possession, entry and knowledge.

As for Julian, he continues to be an advocate for making the world higher, one thing he pursues together with his artwork, his images and thru The White Feather Basis which is the place he continues to dedicate money and time in assist of worthy causes.
Immediately’s dialog with Julian was, as all the time, fascinating. Julian has a straightforward sense of himself, and the place he suits on this world. I all the time get pleasure from our conversations. Hyperlinks to the speak in each video and audio podcast format are beneath:
It appears that evidently Julian’s use of his father’s music is suitable on this context. The efficiency is gorgeous, and the mission is suitable. If John had been capable of remark, there isn’t any query he could be happy with his son and the best way he held again this piece till it had a goal which rose to the historic significance of the piece.
Historical past is humorous. There’s all the time one thing to be taught sooner or later from what came about previously. Think about if solely we didn’t need to be taught these similar classes about good and evil again and again. As a species, if this was so, then all we’d have to consider could be Love Me Do. However, that’s a completely totally different story.
