"I am just in awe that the bed-in is getting attention again. We did it in 1969 for a week in Amsterdam and a week in Montreal. We loved doing it and thought somebody will give us applause for creating original theatre to appeal to the world about the importance of world peace. Instead we got the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to tell all newspapers to never put us on the front page again. Did any theatre critic stand up for us? Well, no. But now we have the film of it that tells of the incredible event: a creation of a woman and a man, performed by them. See the film, and you will get encouragement and inspiration for what you are doing now as activists … which is all of you who now live on this planet. The bed-in may seem too primitive to you … if so, create an event that tops it. You can do it. I will send applause to you. John will too, from wherever he is now. Yoko."
