Hey, thats a good idea but he'd probably be too stupid to get it anyway.

...and when someone is willing to give their life and reputation he is dismissed as idealistic and ignorant- which is ironically only the case for as long as the majority of people take that stance

i like this song a lot. john lennon is my absolute favorite beatle. my dad always said i was born in the wrong time era, well that is definitely true because the first time i heard this song when i was in the 3rd grade i immediately loved the beat and this song has been one of my favorites ever since.

Yes Matty, it is good that poeple sarifice their lives for the betterment of humanity and mankind. And Lennon was defintely a martry of the human race. This song is simply against anything that doesn't have to do with peace and serenity, where poeple live and let live. I think someone should jam this in front of the white house, maybe Bush will understand how wrong he is, being war president in all.

John wrote the song himself, he and Tommy Smothers played guitar, and besides John I think the people singing were a bunch of people who were there, including Yoko.

I absolutly love this song. and i agree it has very powerful yet simple message. GIVE PEACE A CHANCE. people dont realise how much war is ruining the world. i wonder if the world would be different if he was still alive...oh and at the end im pretty sure he says "alright beautiful..yay..we made it"

Bush and his ilk think you have to have war to have peace. Hasn't worked out too well, though.

I'm sure it's just me, but there's something very Jonestown and Kool Aid-ish about this song. Maybe it just reminds me of the 70's.

John wrote this song after falling in love with one of his own comments during a media interview, "All we're saying is give peace a chance." So, at he and Yoko's 'Bed-In For Peace' during a stay in peaceful Canada, John, a few close friends, and many loving crowd people recorded the song on a simple recorder Lennon had picked up down the street.

Rosemary Sarah Woodruff Leary is who he's referring to when he starts naming names
