An interesting interview with John and Yoko recorded at the Montreal Bed-In, 1969. The opening of the recording beginning with the question Are you doing this [the Bed-In] for fun? a perplexed John answers I don't think anyone thinks we are doing it for fun, they'd have to be pretty stupid to think this was fun!... Eventually they do 'get it', meaning the media will understand his and Yoko's protest for peace. He summarises that they are ...selling a soap and it's called 'Peace'and this is the start of the campaign.
The interviewer goes onto question John over his apparent anti-semitic references in his early books, resulting in a brief discussion about race and prejudice. The interviewer starts to enquire as to whether there are future plans for The Beatles to tour agian, at which point Lennon implies that there are as long as the other fab three as he affectionately calls them, want to as well.
Lennon also talks about the newly written song Give Peace A Chance and contemplates recording it with the Beatles if he dosn't get it recorded at the Bed-In ...i don't care what name goes on it. The song was infact recorded in Suit 1742 on 1 June, 1969 and was the first single recorded by a lone Beatle. Lennon is asked what the other Beatles think of him and Yoko demonstrating for Peace in this way and if the other Beatles would be doing the same, John comments ...They are being themselves...We are being ourselves, I'm out here blabbing and waiving!.
