I don't think so because it is presented as a "new documentary". It's also on Cbc's sister station CBC/WORLD on Wed night I believe at around 7 or 8 pm?

Tommy Smothers playing guitar with John Lennon on the recording of "Give Peace A Chance" Also "Timothy Leary" the Guru of "Lsd" along with a host of journalists, celebritys etc! A piece of music History! I think that "John" used his "Beatle" popularity to capitalize on his and Yoko's peace movement! He elevated himself to the level of being an "activest" which the American Government didn't like very much! In years to come we may be studying John for his activisim and musical stature also.

I really liked the bit where John found out that the guy had a fake press pass then he gave him a weekend pass or something. an't get much nicer than that

John wasn't ready to break the credit just yet, The Beatles were still alive when the bed-ins took place (just).
