crossover and classical music. now fifty years ago this week the beatles john lennon and his new bride yoko ono held what they called a bed in in a hotel in the dutch capital absa damn this was instead of a honeymoon for a week they invited the world's press into that hotel suite as that i'm conventional way of trying to promote world peace it was the time of the vietnam war and the antiwar protest was gathering pace. john lennon and yoko ono greeted reporters in pajamas encouraging the world to stay in bed and grow their hair but their real message was world peace the couple harnessed the global interest in their new marriage to promote the cause i. i their peace protest at the amsterdam hilton at the height of the vietnam war

captured the world's interest. fifty years on photographer cloud a fun higher remembers the better in clearly. are still true for take off your glasses also oh no it's me it's john lennon. rather arrogant you know rather liverpool. and then yoko sort of the nasty adults or this young kid is asking is so friendly what you. or i go rog i will go and then you go visit the uscis and i was able to make you know the only photo. without glasses. later when john lennon was asked if the bet in could be taken seriously he replied that it was part of the couple's policy not to be taken seriously. and yet their hope for world peace is still an

inspiration today. and with me now is a man who stayed at the. hilton david living there was a few years later the road and i didn't get to see yoko ok. now i could remember the bedded name because i was a sort of impressionable teenager at the time but you weren't even full but even for you it's a significant event and it is you know i think that just shows how i connick the bed in was you can't talk about the peace movement of the late sixty's without talking about the bad and the way that you go and john lennon went about selling peace to the world as if it were a product you know and they were the poster children as if it were a breakfast cereal even and this was their gimmick to get people's interest going now obviously we don't have world peace so in that sense it didn't work but the fact that we're still talking about a fifty years later is impressive and i don't think it would work today with social

media in the age where you or i could broadcast ourselves live on instagram in our pajamas know it but it had a lot more weight back than that but it did catch the attention of the world's press at the time but there was a lot of skepticism as well there was there was this sense of well you know you're rich you can hang out all day in your pajamas but what about the rest of us and what good is it really going to do an actual. yoko ono and john lennon got so much flack that at the time john lennon wrote the song the ballad of john and yoko you know where he sings christ you know it ain't easy and one of these days they're going to crucify me and that was about this this period in time and that was actually one of the last songs that the beatles released. now there is another bed an anniversary coming out which was a region of the meant to be in america that's where they had a second weeklong bed and originally that was supposed to be in new york but it couldn't happen there because john lennon couldn't get a visa because he'd been convicted of cannabis possession in the us not long before that so the legend goes that instead they went to the bahamas but there it was

actually too hot for them so they took off after one night and they went up to cold canada to montreal and that bed in is actually is the subject of a documentary that yoko ono has up on her you tube page these days it's called bed of peace we can take a little look at that this is where they recorded give peace a chance that iconic song and it was quite a party timothy leary showed up allen ginsberg was there and by the way you can actually rent this suite of the queen elizabeth hotel in montreal for nine hundred and sixty nine dollars nine hundred sixty nine doesn't fit in my travel budget but you know there's got to be someone out there watching some fan here who can make it work ok david thank you very much thanks for joining is it not she i should say that although john lennon is no longer with us we'll be featuring yoko ono on the show next week because she's got a new exhibition in germany thanks and then. and now into a weird and wonderful exhibition in the couldn't stella in frankfurt not had the
