World Peace Before 2021





Jul 4 2008 6:57 PM

Dear Mother Jones: Thank you for YourFriendship. My eight-year-old-peace-activist son Axil's quest for World Peace Before 2021 is gaining momentum! I'm so proud of him. Please embrace him AND his song "World Peace Before 2021" which he sings beautifully. His performance can be seen on MySpace, his webpage www. worldpeacebefore2021. com and/or YouTube (by searching his name Axil Kollist.) It is my intention to post a new video of him singing his song every few months so people can watch his talent grow as impressively as the momentum for his quest! I'm sharing two photos with you. The first is of my son distributing his free world peace bumperstickers and the second photo is of him singing his song “World Peace Before 2021” at Maui's Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Day Festivities in January 08. Best regards, Axil Kollist’s mom

I can't wait until Mother Jones tour brings them to the midwest, It would be great to see the band play Chicago, St Louis, Evansville and Carbondale (SIU).
Until that time I'll just chill and crank the MP3 player.

Hey guys.
It's me; Micah! When are we going to play our next show together? Or at least hang out?
Nikki O'Neill





Apr 26 2008 11:19 PM

Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to share the stage with you at Brennan's last night. Your vibe and level of musicianship is such an inspiration, and you got some new fans in our friends who came! Hope we can do this again.
Marshall: thanks for sitting in with us and playing so great, taking us to another level!
Steve: many thanks for taking the pictures of us, and for making me and my friend Jill dance like maniacs with you in front of the stage!
Son and Chris: your guitar playing really inspired me - if I could play half as good as you guys, I'd be happy...
Chris and Halina: thanks for contributing equal shares to the magic! Loved the universe song with the acoustic guitar... it was all awesome!
Many thanks from Nikki, Rich & Josh

Hi everybody! How is everything? We can't wait to play with you at Brennan's on the 25th!

I guess I can also add that we finally have our new CD available on iTunes, Amazon, Napster and Rhapsody.
If your friends happen to like Susan Tedeschi, Chrissie Hynde or Grace Potter - check it out!
