John Lennon - Bagism

Bagism is a term which was created by John Lennon and Yoko Ono as part of their extensive peace campaign in the late 1960s. The intent of bagism was to satirize prejudice and stereotyping. Bagism involved literally wearing a bag over one's entire body. According to John and Yoko, by living in a bag, a person could not be judged by others on the basis of skin color, gender, hair length, attire, age, or any other such attributes. It was presented as a form of total communication. Instead of focusing on outward appearance, the listener would hear only the bagist's message.

Excerpt from the documentry Imagine: John Lennon (1988)
The song is The Ballad of John and Yoko

Its actually a genius idea- using fame to promote peace and using a bag as another way to bring awareness to racism and discrimination. John was very wise- too bad the government hated peace and therefore hated John/
