Yoko Ono Plans Lennon Tribute
As America recovers from the events of Sept. 11, founding Beatle John Lennon's words and music are both a soothing balm and a call to action for us all. His musical urging to "come together" takes on a particular significance just now. "John would have been just as angry as we are," offers his widow, Yoko Ono.

The concert — whose artists include Dave Matthews, Marc Anthony, Lou Reed, Alanis Morissette, Moby and Stone Temple Pilots — will be telecast live on TNT and the WB at 8 pm.
