In honour of John Lennons 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 Lennons 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.

Says Mrs. Ono Lennon, "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, I know that John's work, life and dreams will help inspire them to bring a better world for everyone. Children Power!"
The general public is invited to submit birthday wishes, commentary, musical performances and personal thoughts on John Lennons legacy at www.BoxOfVision.com/TimeCapsule. Fans can share thoughts beginning today up until September 15th, 2010. Fans who visit the site can also make recommendations about what the time capsules should include to best preserve the Lennon legacy over the next 30 years.
Along with fan contributions the capsules will include John Lennons post-Beatles recordings, newly restored art prints of his LP artwork, a newly commissioned essay on his career and other related items.
The John Lennon Time Capsule project is being overseen by Jonathan Polk, of BoxofVision LLC, who last year created THE BEATLES Box of Vision. John Lennon's body of work IS our time capsule, says Polk. It embodies the ideals that once fuelled our absolute belief we could change the worldÂ…then led to cynical backlash but now represent how we wish to be remembered.
