Green Day covering the John Lennon song "Working Class Hero"
Green Day will be covering the John Lennon song “Working Class Hero” for the upcoming tribute CD of his Instant Karma as the campaign to Save Darfur.
Instant Karma, an all-star album benefiting Amnesty International's campaign to end the Darfur genocide, arrives June 12 with an elementary pitch.
“Buy a record, save a life,” says Jeff Ayeroff, the CD's consultant and former vice chairman of Warner Bros. Records, a Karma partner with Amnesty and Yoko Ono. “The idea is to raise consciousness and put money on the ground.” - USA Today.
A music video is also expected by Green Day; read the article at USA Today and visit the Instant Karma website for more information on the cause.

I love John Lennon. I can't believe Green Day is going to be covering one of his songs. I will definitely buy the CD.
