Help PBS Remember John Lennon

11/18/2010
. PBS is asking viewers to record and upload memories of John Lennon to become part of "Remembering Lennon," a new online video exhibition tied to the American Masters film "LENNONYC," airing November 22 at 9:00 p.m. ET (check local listings) on PBS.

Starting November 18, PBS will accept user-generated videos through its PBS Arts website (www.pbs.org/arts), which was launched earlier this year to give Americans the chance to experience the arts and explore the creative process through virtual art exhibits, videos from PBS national and local programs and interactive features.

PBS president Paula Kerger, in one of the first videos featured on the site, recalls a personal connection to Lennon: "When I think about John Lennon music, one thing I think about is when I first met my husband in high school. The album Walls and Bridges had just come out, and he had an 8-track player in his car. I remember listening to that great album over and over again as we drove around. It's the album I was listening to when I fell in love, so it's very special to me."

Viewers can get uploading instructions at www.pbs.org/arts. After a short review process, submitted videos will be posted onto the site alongside those from other high-profile musicians, industry veterans and others who knew Lennon or simply loved his music. The exhibition goes live with remembrances from guitarist Earl Slick, who played on Lennon and Yoko Ono's Double Fantasy album, photographer Bob Gruen, who took the iconic photo of Lennon in a New York City T-shirt and fans who attended "LENNONYC" screenings at the New York Film Festival and in Central Park.
