GIVE PEACE A CHANCE - JOHN LENNON

No dia 31 de maio de 2022, a música que dá título a este post completa 53 anos, ela foi cantada por John Lennon durante o seu protesto pacífico "Bed-in" em Montreal (Canadá) contra a Guerra do Vietnã, acho que esta música agora serve para que nós cantarmos para pedir Paz entre a Rússia e a Ucrânia.
