Avant-Rock Legend Joins Various VH1 Faves At CES For The Sake Of The Children

Yes, that's will.i.am, Yoko Ono, Natasha Bedingfield, and the guy from Train. Supergroup! And after the jump, we've got a preview of the bizarre benefit single they've cut to raise awareness of the importance of musical education.



Psyche*. They're actually at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas showing off the "John Lennon Educational Tour Bus," which is kind of like the Stripes RV, except instead of machine guns it's got "a high-end Apple Mac Pro loaded with Ableton Live, Logic Studio, Final Cut Studio and Sibelius music notation software, supplemented by an Apple XServe and XRAID system which facilitates high-bandwidth HD multimedia production and storage" and is rolling from town to town to "provide students with free hands-on opportunities to make music, produce video projects, and shoot digital photos in the mobile recording studios. The Lennon Bus also has an illustrious history as a hit maker, with chart topping singles from The Black Eyed Peas and Fergie recorded on board." Which should make anyone proud, but most especially these guys:

"The Bus, a 501(c)(3) venture, is made possible through the generosity of sponsors including Maxell Corporation, Apple, NAMM, Roland, Godin Guitars, Edirol by Roland, Sibelius, Audio-Technica, Sonicbids, Digidesign, Aphex Systems, Sony, Musician's Friend, Neutrik, Glyph Technologies, Ampeg, Ableton, Mackie, Crate, Apogee, Disc Makers, Smart Technologies, Antares, Bogen Imaging, IK Multimedia, McDSP, SKB, Ultimate Support, PureVolume.com, Planet Waves, Spectrasonics, Music Player Network, Native Instruments, and Boss."

And the creative spirit of John Lennon! Don't forget!
