From the very first moment John and I saw each other, we knew something was about to happen - something big. We just didnt know how big. When John and I sang Give Peace A Chance from our Bed-In in Montreal, we had no idea the song would become an anthem not only for our time but for generations to come. It went around the world, and made other songwriters realize that you can convey political messages with songs. Millions of people got together and joined in its chorus. Singing it together made us all realize that we were a power strong enough to change the world. Little did we know that thats when we, John and I, really made our beds for life. Both of us experienced World War II from two opposite sides. We knew what it meant to be in the war. We knew how, suddenly, you could lose everything. We knew that people like us were the ones who really suffered, and the Generals and the politicians just kept dishing out lies to keep us pacified. That was an insult to kids like us. Two angry people. Thats what we were. So when we met and hugged each other, our back bones literally relaxed. Lets change the world for the better together. YES! Never in a million years, did we think that promoting World Peace could be dangerous. These songs have become relevant all over again. It’s almost as if John wrote them for what we are going through now.
