John Lennon - Give peace a chance

Na današnji dan, 1.juna 1969. godine počelo je snimanje pjesme "Give Peace a Chance".

01. juni 2013, 12:00

Pjesmu "Give Peace a Chance" snimio je Lennon sa Yoko Ono 1969. u hotelskoj sobi u Montrealu, a u novembru iste godine pjevalo ju je pola miliona ljudi u Washingtonu, apelujući na Nixonovu vladu da prekine besmisleni rat. Zbog toga vlada stalno prati i prisluškuje Lennona, a 1972. radila je na njegovoj deportaciji iz SAD-a.

Iste godine ne uspijeva održati antiratnu turneju, no održava koncert podrške antiratnom aktivistu Johnu Sinclairu. Iako su mediji Lennona i Ono često ismijavali kao par čudaka, zajedno su ispisali jednu od najljepših ljubavnih priča 20. vijeka i učinili mnogo za plemenite ciljeve kojima su posvetili svoje živote.
