| ...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 | |

| 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" | |

| 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. | |
