Natalie Merchant Honored With John Lennon Real Love Award

because of what it says about her activism than her music. The singer is the sixth recipient of the John Lennon Real Love Award, and will headline a tribute concert to the former Beatle in New York on Dec. 6.

Merchant volunteers three times a week for a Head Start program near where she lives in Hudson Valley, helping disadvantaged children. She often performs free concerts for children and, at the height of her fame three decades ago, volunteered at a homeless program in Harlem, where most of the people thought she was a student from nearby Columbia University.

“These projects, for a good reason, they suck your life blood,” she said. “I began to see these projects as much more important than making another Natalie Merchant record.”

NatalieMerchant love her!
