Green Day will be recording the John Lennon song "Working Class Hero"
(original: lyrics | video) for the upcoming CD 'Instant Karma'. A video for the song is also expected. The album is being produced to benefit Amnesty International, which is trying to end the genocide in Darfur. Other expected artists include everyone from Willie Nelson and Jack Johnson to the Black Eyed Peas and The Cure. Current release date is June 12. Thanks to ssnn for the heads up.

The fact that they're recording that song makes this photo (from the Nov. 2005 issue of Rolling Stone) all the more meaningful.
