The Rock Hall will host a time capsule dedication ceremony at the Museum on Friday, October 8 at 10:30 a.m. The Museum will continue to celebrate Lennon’s legacy with a weekend of special programs built around John Lennon’s personal items in the Museum’s exhibits including in-depth curator discussions, screenings of Lennon-related Induction content and films and other special event The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Box of Vision will create three authorized John Lennon Time Capsules, in honor of the 70th anniversary of Lennon’s birth, October 9, 2010, aimed at preserving Mr. Lennon’s body of recordings and legacy for a ceremonial presentation to future generations of fans on October 9, 2040. With the cooperation of Yoko Ono, the three John Lennon Time Capsules will be stored at the Rock Hall and two additional world locations that have significance to John Lennon’s legacy. “I am delighted to support this effort to help share John’s music and messages of peace and love with the children of today and tomorrow. I know that John’s work, life and dreams will help inspire them to bring a better world for everyone. Children Power!” says Mrs. Ono Lennon. www.boxofvision.com/TimeCapsule/www.a-i-u.net/index.html

Thanks for the info I can't see the point in burying time capsules in relation to famous people - surely any artefacts that may be buried would be better off on display in a museum rather than hidden for fifty years or whatever. What do you think?

the other thing is it's only being buried for 30yrs, seems a bit pointless to me, 100yrs would make more sense as it's for future generations.

Yeah, that does seem a bit of an odd choice! I hope people in even 100 years time will still be aware of the Beatles/John Lennon. Maybe 500 years would be better - it'll give me time to be reincarnated!
