Comment:

What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding? We see Elvis Costello's point, and so did many of these artists. It starts with a revolutionary concept wrapped up in four simple words at the height of the Vietnam War, as soon-to-be-ex-Beatle John Lennon and his new wife hosted the biggest be-in — no, make that [i]bed[/i]-in — in pop culture history, with Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, and dozens of other A-list celebrities joining the ad hoc Plastic Ono Band in singing "Give Peace a Chance." In Jamaica, Bob Marley took the concept one step further, wrapping up redemption, love, hope, and unity in the sweet island breeze of "One Love/People Get Ready," tying Curtis Mayfield's post-March on Washington gospel groove to a reggae beat. And John Mayer, at the forefront of a generation with its own war to fight, awakens a new era to music's transformative power with the loose-limbed, bluesy vibe of the GRAMMY®-winning "Waiting On the World to Change." From the Gulf of Tonkin to Desert Storm, from Johnny Cash & Joe Strummer to Black Eyed Peas & Justin Timberlake, your favorite artists stoked the fires of the peace train and took to heart Gandhi's famous motto: "Be the change you want to see in the world."
