Music for the International Day of Peace

I finally finished the playlist we'll be jamming to on Sept 21.

Only a handful of people who are not familiar read this blog, so no long winded explanations.

Suffice it to say, if I wrote a persuasive paper on peace, hope & love, I would approach it from this perspective.

Ugh.. taking out Politik and Savin' Me. Too much sturm und drang, which was what I was trying to avoid by not using the "official" one love playlist.

Dear Friends,

It is only a few more days until the International Day of Peace on Sunday, 21 September!

CNN’s iReport, a news-oriented kind of youtube, just launched a special page for the International Day of Peace – http://www.ireport.com/dayofpeace! Just get registered and put your calls for world leaders and personal peace stories in videos, photos and texts online to everyone to see. We would love to know about what YOU think and do for peace! And if you are lucky, your story will be broadcasted by CNN.

Our TXT 4 PEACE campaign is getting bigger and bigger. We have received several hundred messages so far. Have a look at http://www.peaceday2008.org! Thanks so much for that!

Please keep sending your text messages to world leaders with the word ‘PEACE’ and then your message to 69866 (in the US only) or send an online message from http://www.peaceday2008.org! We are trying to receive 10.000 text messages and many more online messages by Sunday, 21 September! So please help us to spread the word.

Thank you so much for your support. All this would not happen without you!

Best wishes from UN Headquarters in New York,

The UN International Day of Peace Team
