What I read at Godin's page and listen on the audio of Lennon in 1969 both point to the same thing, that we say one thing and do another.

Lennon's best advice on protest and peace for me was to emulate the system, and advertising peace is a really smart idea but peace is not a product for consumption or product placement or a poster for pleasing, it begins within us and it is really hard work – Lennon is pretty clear about that in the audio.

The most beautiful part of John Lennon is that he had range from peace to radical and I will avoid cutting his life into portions that I like and ignore that I don't – instead, I embrace the man for good and bad, that is what is most special about him in my book – he endured the most incredible and life taxing situations in life and to his last day, remained true to who he was.

There is nothing trivial or simple about Lennon, his life is worth serious study and appreciation – in totality rather than in parts.

Great audio. It was great to think about it here and in a round-about way pay tribute to a human being that lived his life and created art that was about his life and his perspective. All great artists endeavor and indulge what is important to them and I respect that.

To hear Lennon's voice matched with the animation is powerful. For people interested in the message of the Bed-in, the book Give Peace A Chance (Wiley and Sons 2009) by Joan Athey is both moving and intriguing. It contains essays by key eye-witnesses to the Bed-in and over 80 photos taken by Life photographer Gerry Deiter. Yoko contributed an insightful essay especially for the book where she wonders if their destiny was "written on a stone, on the moon or something .." And just a few days ago I was surprised to see that a crater on the moon has indeed been named The John Lennon Peace Crater. Haven't we come a long way from laughing at them and putting them down for their actions for peace? About time! I Met The Walrus is an innovative short well worth watching.
