Music for World Peace

On April 24, 1971, John Denver sang "The Strangest Dream" at a peace march in Washington DC. The anti-war march was to protest the Vietnam War. The song, written by Ed McCurdy, was one of the anthems of the anti-war era. http://timewarptv.blogspot.com/

The actual pictures were taken in 2001 on a film camera- I had no idea at the time they would end up in this form or even that they'd be on the internet. I want to thank everyone who has expressed an interest in this project. It shows to me just how timeless the beauty of this landscape is. For me it is the 'real Japan'. As time goes by, far from gettiung forgotten, the spread of leisure culture has made this more widely appreciated and I am proud to be a part of it in this way. The song is "Itsuki No Komoriuta", from a CD compilation I got called "The Koto- Japanese Healing Music", from the 100 yen store- I'll only be here 'til Bon; if Bon comes early, I'll go home early. I'm just a beggar; these are goodly folk, with nice obi waist-sashes and nice kimono. If I should die, bury me by the roadside; offerings or water will come from the heavens. If I should die, who would cry for me? Only the locusts in those pine mountains. Yoroshiku! Starfires.

« Manhattan Kaboul » Renaud & Axelle Red __________________________ Petit Portoricain, bien intégré quasiment New-yorkais Dans mon building tout de verre et dacier, Je prends mon job, un rail de coke, un café, Petite fille Afghane, de lautre côté de la terre, Jamais entendu parler de Manhattan, Mon quotidien cest la misère et la guerre Deux étrangers au bout du monde, si différents Deux inconnus, deux anonymes, mais pourtant, Pulvérisés, sur lautel, de la violence éternelle Un 747, sest explosé dans mes fenêtres, Mon ciel si bleu est devenu orage, Lorsque les bombes ont rasé mon village Deux étrangers au bout du monde, si différents Deux inconnus, deux anonymes, mais pourtant, Pulvérisés, sur lautel, de la violence éternelle Son long adieu au rêve américain, Moi, plus jamais esclave des chiens Vite imposé lislam des tyrans Ceux là ont-ils jamais lu le coran ? Suis redevnu poussière, Je srai pas maître de lunivers, Ce pays que jaimais tellement serait-il Finalement colosse aux pieds dargile ? Les dieux, les religions, Les guerres de civilisation, Les armes, les drapeaux, les patries, les nations, Font toujours de nous de la chair à canon Deux étrangers au bout du monde, si différents Deux inconnus, deux anonymes, mais pourtant, Pulvérisés, sur lautel, de la violence éternelle Deux étrangers au bout du monde, si différents Deux inconnus, deux anonymes, mais pourtant, Pulvérisés, sur lautel, de la violence éternelle.

"Give Peace a Chance" is a 1969 single by (John Lennon's) Plastic Ono Band that became an anthem of the American anti-war movement at that time. A different song with the same name, written by Leon Russell and Bonny Bramlett, was sung by Joe Cocker. Writing and recording The song was written during Lennon's Bed-In honeymoon: when asked by a reporter what he was trying to achieve by staying in bed, Lennon answered spontaneously "All we are saying is give peace a chance"; Lennon liked the phrase and set it to music for the song.[citation needed]. He sang the song several times during the Bed-In, and finally, on 1 June 1969, in Room 1742 at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, recorded it using a simple setup of four microphones and a four-track tape recorder rented from a local recording studio.[1] The recording session was attended by dozens of journalists and various celebrities, including Timothy Leary, Rabbi Abraham Feinberg, Joseph Schwartz, Allan Rock, Rosemary Woodruff Leary, Petula Clark, Dick Gregory, Allen Ginsberg, Murray the K, Al Capp and Derek Taylor, many of whom are mentioned in the lyrics. Lennon played acoustic guitar and was joined by Tommy Smothers of the Smothers Brothers, also on acoustic guitar. The song was credited to Lennon/McCartney (John Lennon and Paul McCartney) and published by Northern Songs (now Sony/ATV Music Publishing). On some later releases of the song, only Lennon is credited; viz. the 1990s reissue of the 1972 album Live in New York City, the 2006 documentary The U.S. vs. John Lennon (in which the song appears), and the 1997 compilation album Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon (and its DVD version six years later). Lennon later stated his regrets about being guilty enough to give McCartney credit as co-writer on my first independent single instead of giving it to Yoko, who had actually written it with me. [2] However, it has also been suggested that the credit was a way of thanks to McCartney for helping him record "The Ballad of John and Yoko" at short notice.[3] Commercial release The "Give Peace a Chance" single (with Yoko Ono's "Remember Love" as the B-side) was released on 45 RPM vinyl in the UK (on APPLE 13) on July 4, 1969 and July 7, 1969 in the US (on Apple 1809). The track's first full-length album appearance was on the Lennon hits compilation The John Lennon Collection issued November 1, 1982 in the UK (EMI/Parlophone Records) and November 8, 1982 (originally on Geffen Records, since re-released on Capitol Records). A significantly truncated version of the Montreal session and a snippet of the One to One Benefit concert performance of the song appear on Lennon's Shaved Fish hits compilation from 1975. "Give Peace a Chance" was the first "solo" single released by a member of the Beatles while the band was still intact, though, technically, the artist was credited as Plastic Ono Band, not John Lennon. Popularity The song reached number 14 on the pop charts in the United States and was kept out of the top slot in the UK by The Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women". The song quickly became the anthem of the anti-war movement, and was sung by half a million demonstrators in Washington, D.C. at the Vietnam Moratorium Day, on 15 October 1969.[4] They were led by the renowned folk singer Pete Seeger, who interspersed phrases like, "Are you listening, Nixon?" and "Are you listening, Agnew?", between the choruses of protesters singing, "All we are saying ... is give peace a chance".[5] [edit] Lyrics The original last verse of the song refers to: "John and Yoko, Timmy Leary, Rosemary, Tommy Smothers, Bobby Dylan, Tommy Cooper, Derek Taylor, Norman Mailer, Allen Ginsberg, Hare Krishna". In the performance of "Give Peace a Chance" included on the Live Peace in Toronto 1969 album, Lennon openly stated that he couldn't remember all of the words and improvised with the names of the band members sharing the stage with him and anything that came to mind: "John and Yoko, Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann, Penny Lane, Roosevelt, Nixon, Tommy Jones and Tommy Cooper, and somebody." The third verse contains a reference to masturbation, but Lennon changed this to "mastication" on the official lyric sheet. He later admitted this was a "cop out" but wanted to avoid unnecessary controversy.[6]
