| John Lennon Time Capsule In honor of John Lennon's 70th birthday on Saturday October 9, 2010, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum and BoxofVision LLC will create three authorized time capsules of John Lennon's post-Beatles recordings and fan contributions, which can be submitted via www.BoxOfVision.com/TimeCapsule, to carry his legacy of peace and love to future generations. With the cooperation of Yoko Ono Lennon, the time capsules will be preserved and stored until they are opened in a ceremonial presentation on October 9, 2040. They will be stored at the Rock Hall in Ohio, and at two additional worldwide locations that have significance to John Lennon's legacy. The Rock Hall will host a time capsule dedication ceremony at the Museum on Friday, October 8 at 10:30 a.m. The Museum will continue to celebrate Lennon's legacy with a weekend of special programs built around John Lennon's personal items in the Museum's exhibits including in-depth curator discussions, screenings of Lennon-related Induction content and other special events. "I am delighted to support this effort to help share John's music and messages of peace and love with the children of today and tomorrow" says Mrs. Ono Lennon, "I know that John's work, life and dreams will help inspire them to bring a better world for everyone. Children Power!"
