John lennon end Yoko Hono BED-IN

In 1969 singer John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono began a peace tour against the Vietnam War, protesting in a curious way: through "bed-ins", in which they simply stayed in bed; an idea derived from the sit-ins and which became so famous that it was even represented in the Montreal wax museum. In this way they achieved the goal of drawing attention to the conflict, even if many media followed them only out of morbid curiosity. Almost two years later Lennon released Imagine, his most famous solo song, which became an ode to peace around the world. In addition to his artistic success, John Lennon is remembered and appreciated for his pacifist activism, which caused him many problems with the US authorities, who suspected him of communist sympathies. President Richard Nixon, running for re-election, went so far as to order his expulsion from the country in 1972 on the basis of his cannabis use: an order that was never carried out, since Nixon lost the election. However, when Lennon was assassinated on December 8, 1980, some media outlets and artists suggested that the CIA itself, which had been keeping an eye on Lennon for years, was behind the crime.
