Today in Beatles History 5/31/1969
While in the middle of their Bed-In For Peace in Montreal, John and Yoko and friends and others who happened to be there, joined in the song that was to instantly become the anthem of a generation. It was Give Peace a Chance. In a response to a reporter’s question about why they were doing Bed-Ins, John responded with “All we are saying is give peace a chance”. Obviously the line stuck with him as he wrote the song on the spot, with Yoko’s assistance. 43 years later, it is still relevant, known and loved around the world. Wherever there are peaceful demonstrations and protests, you can be certain someone is there with a guitar, leading the gathered in the signature song of the Peace Movement.

I guess it just came around again…May 31,’69 > May 31, 2012. “How many times must the cannonballs fly…before they’re forever banned?”…Bob Dylan (Blowin’ in the Wind)(!)
All that john wanted is peace in the world and no war because there was a war going on when he was born and that is not good and that was the world war 2 going on they were boming liverpool at that time so that is why we should GIVE PEACE A CHANCE for john and RIP John Lennon 🙂
The songs past ALL have more meaning than the ones today. I loved some of the songs of MJ. We are the World..
