• While in a discussion about John and the bed in-I found this on wikipedia…:
    During the Vietnam War, in 1969, John Lennon and Yoko Ono held two week-long Bed-Ins for Peace in Amsterdam and Montreal, which were their non-violent ways of protesting wars and promoting peace.
    Montreal Bed-in
    Their second Bed-In was planned to take place in New York, but John was not allowed into the country because of his 1968 cannabis conviction. Instead they held the event in the Bahamas at the Sheraton Oceanus Hotel, flying there on May 24, 1969, but after spending one night in the heat, they decided to move to Montreal. Setting the record straight: I couldn’t go with them to the Bahamas and sent a friend of mine from Miami to go with them. I thought all was going well until I contacted my friend who came back the next day from the Bahamas. He said that John and Yoko had set up a bed at the foot of the stairs in the room but didn’t like the looks they were getting from the staff at the hotel. Based on the weird vibe they felt..they left for Canada…
    Had nothing to do with the heat..they had air conditioning..
