Forty-seven years ago nowadays,John Lennon and Yoko Ono celebrated their honeymoon with a weeklong Bed-In For Peace at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel. Was it a prank or a protest? Yes.
"It's part of our policy not to be taken seriously," Lennon said. "Our opposition, and whoever they may be,in all manifest forms, don't know how to handle humour. And we are humorous."
Above is the short documentary of the events, or titled Bed Peace.
War is over! (If you want it).
