John Lennon: 'We're Only Trying to Get Us Some Peace'

This week marks the 42nd anniversary of John and Yoko's first infamous bed-in for peace in Amsterdam. As John Whitehead points out in this week's vodcast, the bed-ins were much more than sensational media events staged by celebrities for whom the "cause" is politically expedient and risk-free, which we see so much of today. Rather, the bed-ins were John and Yoko's way of taking a moral stand on what they considered to be the issue of their day.
