I haven't watched it, but i can try answer your comment Andy Smith. Johnnie can very well talk about Peace and Love and in that way he will appeal more to people. The president obviously doesn't want it because it is his country at the moment and not some pop star's (who might not even know "love" e.g Cyn). It seems that presidents operate on the bais of "action speaks louder than words". Perhaps they think that "ok now it's Peace and Love. The next thing he'll (John) be saying- take LSD ppl. i did it and look what a legend I become"
Talking (singing) about Peace and Love is all very well, but if nothing is done about it, it is sort of "in your way" type-of-thing. Metaphorically it's like a flower. The flower of love all blooming and colourful attracting all the insects. But what if this flower will start to consume these insects?
Yoko was doing the same and look what she did to John.
I dont like politics, I do like John and his songs. And what he did was actually good and sensible and i admire him for that. I'm just trying to see it from the President's point of view.
