Music Monday: All We Are Saying Is Give Peace A Chance

Yesterday I watched, "The U.S. vs John Lennon," and boy, let me tell you, it blew my mind.

I know I've gushed about my love and admiration for The Beatles, and more specifically John Lennon alone, but this is different. This goes much deeper than gushing, this is about respect, empowerment and inspiration.

Before watching this documentary, I thought I knew a lot about John and his life. I knew about the Bed Ins, Hair Peace, Bagism and that all he was saying was "give peace a chance." I knew all that, but, I'd never seen the original footage where he talked about those things.

This documentary is chalked full of interviews I'd never laid my baby blues on. Seeing him, hearing him, (as well as some of the people nearest and dearest to him) speak about the revolution he was rallying for truly touched my heart in a way that shook me and turned my brain upside down. (Or maybe right-side up. Who knows.)

Please, check out the trailer for "The U.S. vs John Lennon."

The trailer alone moved me right down to my core. Because, even though decades have passed, his message is still relevant. Apathy isn't it. We can do something.

"Our job now is to tell them that there is still hope, we must get them excited about what we can do again."

In honor of that statement, I'm going to add some of my personal favorite John Lennon songs to get all of our brains ticking again.

"Imagine"

"Instant Karma"

"Give Peace A Chance"

Do you have any favorite John Lennon songs? If so, leave them in the comments. I'd love to hear your selections!

Well, that's all I had for today.

Check in on Friday for a Feel Good Tune!

Till then, lets be kind to one another.

Take care, be safe and much love from me to you.
