There were some significant side trips as well: an elevated train ride out to Queens for the Mets home opening game at Shea Stadium, and a stop at Barnes and Nobel in Greenwich Village for the in-store release of the Moveon.org book, "Fifty Ways To Love Your Country". One of the high points of the month was a wild and awesomely inspiring show at Lincoln Elementary School in Bethlehem, PA, for 300 kids who know the meaning of peace, love and rock n' roll mayhem. After the biggest, wildest Love Train ever, the show ended with all of us flashing the peace sign and singing the best "Stand" sing-along ever. The word of the day was "Hope," and we felt it when we looked out at those great rockin' singin' kids! ******************************************* 2) KENNEDYS "DHARMA CAFE" WEEKLY FOLK SHOW ON SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO A HIT!
