Couldn't even stay in a messy bed? Lol https://twitter.com/718Tv/status/1402112629892648960

As the Vietnam War raged in 1969, John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono held two week-long Bed-ins for Peace, one at the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam and one at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, each of which were intended to be nonviolent protests against wars, and experimental tests of new ways to promote peace. The idea is derived from a "sit-in", in which a group of protesters remains seated in front of or within an establishment until they are evicted, arrested, or their demands are met

They spent their honeymoon in the presidential suite (Room 702) at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel for a week between March 25 and 31, inviting the world's press into their hotel room every day between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.

:lmayo:

During April 1969, Lennon and Ono sent acorns to the heads of state in various countries around the world in hopes that they would plant them as a symbol of peace.

    John Lennon was apparently by all accounts a massive piece of shit. I know his (one of them?) son gets pretty upset when people try to talk to him about John bc John seriously fucked over him and his mother.

      He beat the fuck out of Yoko too, say what you will about his song writing and what not but he had seriously bad rage issues with his family. He was for sure a garbage person behind closed doors to folks.

        Lol i actually didn’t know he beat his wife until this thread, but I had seen a video of the son get upset at someone for continually asking about John and that’s what I was referring to

        In the video the son made it sound like he just kind of casted him and his mom out to fend for themselves
