"Give Peace A Chance" Remakes

This is some info on the remakes of the song, "Give Peace a Chance". The first remake, headed by Sean Lennon, was from 1991 and prompted by the Gulf War. The 2nd remake was after 911, by Yoko Ono. (It's the message that matters all you Yoko haters!) There are some other various interviews and clips. Some people included are: Lenny Kravitz, Peter Gabriel, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Smothers, Flea, Dweezil Zappa, Tom Petty, Sebastian Bach, Little Stevenetc. If you know some more leave a comment and I'll add.

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it. -John Lennon

"Laurel and Hardy, that's John and Yoko. And we stand a better chance under that guise because all the serious people like Martin Luther King and Kennedy and Gandhi got shot." -- John Lennon

Songs are written and words are said, but war goes on.

Why?

[leia176oo]

because those in power keep us divided and distracted. Only then can they control us. They also like to profit from it as well.

Everyone hates Yoko but I respect her. John loved her and she loved him and it's good that she keeps his word alive. I think she's a beautiful lady and very respectable.

"Sean did a lot of updating ... he's really the next generation"

Haha, I guess this makes it sort of like the Star Wars Prequels then.
