Today in Paris, musician Davide Martello pulled his piano via bike to right in front of The Bataclan, the concert hall where over 100 were murdered last night in terrorist attacks.

After situating himself, he quietly began playing John Lennon’s “Imagine.” When he finished, overwhelmed by emotion, he left without speaking or identifying himself.

Documentary: “Lennon Or McCartney”

From the filmmaker: 550 Artists were interviewed over the last ten years. At some point during those interviews, they were asked a question and told to answer with one word only. Some stuck to one, some said more, some answered quickly, some thought it through, and some didn’t answer at all.

I’ll throw out my vote – McCartney, although Lennon’s work definitely pulls at my heart.

Cool idea for a short film. Interesting to see who chooses who.

And btw – the filmmaker gives the final tally of votes at the end of the film.
