JOHN LENNON THE DREAMER

If someone says you are dreaming would you feel upset? John Lennon had a dream that he could generate enough empowerment among the ordinary people to stop the Vietnam War. Near Christmas he put out BIG bill boards with the message

WAR IS OVER
if you want it

Yoko Ono his wife made posters with the same message.

Well, it makes me think..it depends on whether we want it and what we are willing to do as ordinary people..

He wrote a song , GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

" All we are saying is
Give Peace A Chance"

It became the chant for demonstraters who use it as a battle cry for PEACE.

In the end the young, the brave, the dreamers did make a difference.

The war ended.

Check out his song REVOLUTION and let me know how you feel it.

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
