On May 23, 2004 I blogged that John Lennon and Yoko Ono paid for billboards and full page newspaper advertisements at their own expense during the heat of the Vietnam War that promoted messages of peace.
Since that time, I canceled my subscription to the NY Times, but I happened to read it while vacationing on the east coast. To my delight, in the August 30, 2004 edition - during the Republican National Convention in New York City - there was a full-page ad from Yoko Ono on page A13. All it said was "IMAGINE PEACE." An advertisement with no gimmick, no promotion, nothing to sell or buy - just IMAGINE PEACE!
For the record, John was and still is my favorite Beatle. And Yoko, THANK YOU !
