I post again the 35-year-old photograph I posted at the beginning of this day, early this morning as I prepared Christmas dinner for the gathering of many members of my family.
Happy Christmas. War Is Over IF YOU WANT IT.
Not just the Vietnam war over, John and Yoko communicated through billboard and song, but WAR, all war. And, possibly more significantly, they added, "If you want it."
They were striving to make clear to American citizens and all citizens of the world: "You must want it. It is in your hands."
Yes, I realize I am "preaching to the choir" when I quote John and Yoko here. But many people read messages on this board. This has been an extreme year, but a year of increasing hope, and the need for the hope continues - therefore the 35-year-old photograph. (Also, I love John's solo stuff and I <3 NY!)
Seasons Greetings to all my friends at democraticunderground.com and Best Wishes for the New Year...
