'Give Peace a Chance'
All they were saying was give peace a chance. Written during John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s 1969 eight-night “bed-in” for peace and recorded on the final night, “Give Peace a Chance” brought together some 50 people in Montreal’s Queen Elizabeth Hotel to sing the simple message of hope and peace. From its humble bedside origin, the song went on to become an anthem of the antiwar movement and has been re-recorded several times. A 2005 version, sung by Ono, recalls the events of 9/11.
