Like a who's who.

That's Tommy Smothers in there!

I was such a teenage brat (well... POST teenage), I remember back
then when I first saw Yoko Ono I thought she was awful. Now I love her.

Things change. Like People.


Much love to everyone.

A great song and amazing how they pulled it off over the course of about a day or so. I was just reading Tommy Smothers' comments to Lennon when they met at the bed-in, where Smothers says: "You don’t realize the state and the control that exists in the United States in the expression of what you want to say, to the mildest form of dissent, which you get the reaction from...the United States is the one that is causing the problems now." The Smothers Brothers show had just been canceled -- and in a sense it is still true, hard-hitting commentary still generally has no place on the major networks.
