Freefalling with David

Recently there was a list released online supposed to reveal fees charged by celebrities in China, HK & TW performing in mainland China. David was among the lowest. Dun know if its real but I do believe David will not have the heart to charge so much in a country so poor it cannot even erect enough schools for children. David enjoys performing in China cos he wants to bring his brand of music, hoping it will touch the hearts of the ppl living there & give them hope & happiness.
That is why he is my idol. I feel so happy that he is around to prove that not all celebrities care just abt fame & fortune. Yesterday was the 25th death anniversary of John Lennon. If he was alive today, will ppl post rude msgs on his fansite to belittle him & called him "poor John" cos he dared to be different & he longed for world peace more than anything in the world? I dun know, all I know is David Tao is the closest singer/composer to John Lennon I have ever known cos he taught me how to freefall.

Imagine
by John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

I like the song 'Let it be' [dunno if it's John's?]
well I guess John the first who admit about commercialising his music to touch more souls out there ^__^ I respect him for that!
