      I was surprized to learn, particularly as Smothers did this with JL, that later, when JL was with May Pang for the 18 months he was, he showed up drunk & heckled the Smothers Brothers doing their act.

      @@JP51ism Yes that's true except I will add it was John Lennon along with Harry Nilsson, both drunk off their asses who were kicked out of the Smothers Brothers show at the Troubadour Club in LA. Can you imagine being the person who can say you bounced John Lennon...LOL! That was the Lennon period known as the Lost Weekend, which was actually an 18 month period where Lennon and Nilsson went on a drinking binge together. in LA. They became part of the drinking club called the Hollywood Vampires while in LA,. Its was Lennon, Nilsson, Mickey Dolenz, Keith Moon and Alice Cooper. Can you even imagine!

      yep, but now we have all this wonderful over-priced, fascist, corporate police-state technology to make us happy. odd, how, after the "left" betrayed their principles and abandoned their goals throughout the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s, it appears the fascists still have the upper hand.
      you know what's weird? i just realized there's a correlation between the break-up of the beatles and the rise of global fascism. since 1970 fascism has been incrementally increasing from decade to decade.

      May all the gods bless your naivity!
      When, in the many thousands of years of human history, has any GOD or GODDESS really ensured peace?
      Muslims fight against Christians and Jews; Christians fight against Muslims and Jews; Jews fight against Muslims... And all this in the name of ONE God?
      A GOD who only needs all these wars for his own amusement? IF THIS GOD really had the power to end wars, and if humanity's disputes weren't just entertainment for THIS ONE GOD, there would be no more wars in this world for a long time!
      If any god or goddess really had the power to influence human behavior, ALL of his/her followers would long ago be victors in all disputes...

    I danced with Tom Smothers on top of Nob Hill in San Francisco in 1977. He and Dick were playing in SF when we held a benefit for a fellow performer who had been shot and paralyzed and they asked to join in. All the theatre and music people in SF performed and the drama and music critics were the ushers. It was an amazing night. Tom was a great man. A fighter ahead of his time. RiP I also lived two blocks from John Lennon when he was assassinated in New York. So this video has many layers of meaning for me. Thanks for sharing it.

    The fact that Petula Clark of all people ended up on this track speaks to the character of everybody in that room. We so readily marginalise people into groups and artists into genres when all we really ought to see are two expats making the best of what remains of the night, with friends, far away from home. There's something wonderfully platonic and human about the whole thing, and it's not the sentiment that makes you stop and think, it's the realization that we don't experience as often as we know we ought to.

    1968? I don't think so I remember this and everyone knows this was 1969. From songfacts: This was recorded May 31, 1969 at a "Bed-In" Lennon staged in room 1472 of Queen Elizabeth's Hotel in Montreal. John and Yoko stayed in bed for eight days, beginning on May 26, in an effort to promote world peace. They got a great deal of media attention, which is exactly what they wanted to promote their cause.

    Rest In Peace Tommy Smothers. Not only were you important in this world, You were important in the Beatle World. You were in the Give Peace a Chance video and session with John & Yoko, you also had George Harrison, and Ringo Starr on your TV program. John Lennon was also at your performance at The Troubador in California. That was the night that John Lennon and Harry Nilsson had a bit too much to drink, and were asked to leave for Heckling the Smother Brothers.

La cual se vio reflejada en su trabajo como solista con una canción que se volvió el himno de la paz junto a “Imagine” (otra gran canción). “Give Peace A Chance” Se convirtió en un himno del movimiento contra la guerra de Vietnam en 1970. Paz y Bien para el Mundo!!

    The track, released in 1969, remains an iconic anti-war song, but George Harrison was not impressed. He once said (via George Harrison on George Harrison: Interviews and Encounters), “This is where I really disagreed with John, because I want peace too. But I don’t think you get peace by goin’ around shouting, ‘Give peace a chance, man!’ For a forest to be green, each tree must be green. You don’t get peace by talking about peace. You don’t get any sort of peace until you really stop talking and be more on the road to peace.” I agree George, I agree. 😂
