Chris Cantell Discusses Entertainment: Lennonov rukopis vydražený
by Livia Cseresova

Text piesne Johna Lennona “Give Peace a Chance” bol 10. Júla na predaj na londýnskej aukcii. Lennon napísal text a nahral pieseň v hotelovej izbe s približne 50 hosťami, vrátane speváčky Petuly Clark a poeta Allena Ginsberga.

Text bol pôvodné daný Gail Renard, autorke komédií, v roku 1969, keď mala 16 a bol jej daný spolu s inými predmetmi v Montreale počas návštevy Johna Lennona a Yoko Ono.

Gail Renard bola študentkou v Montreale keď ho Lennon a Ono navštívili aby po zákaze vstúpiť do Spojených Štátov zahájili kampaň za mier v posteli. Renard sa spolu s kamarátom vkradla do hotela (Queen Elizabeth Hotela) s nádejou na urobenie interview so slávnou dvojicou pre svoj univerzitný časopis.

Zaklopali na dvere a dvojica ich nielenže v pustila dovnútra, ale Renard dokonca strávila zvyšok týždňa s populárnym duom. John Lennon jej vtedy dal zopár vecí a povedal že jedného dňa budú “mať nejakú cenu”.

Lennon mal úplnú pravdu. V skutočnosti majú tie veci veľkú hodnotu. Aukčný dom Christie predal jeho ručne písaný text k piesni “Give Peace a Chance” za $833,654. Je zaujímavé, že Gail Renard, ktorá s Lennonom a Ono zostala v kontakte od svojej hotelovej návštevy, nikdy verejne neukázala predmety ktoré jej Lennon daroval- aukcia v Christie bola ich premiérou.

Text k piesni:
Ev'rybody's talking about
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism
Isn't it the most
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

Ev'rybody's talking about
Ministers, Sinisters, Banisters and canisters,
Bishops and Fishops and Rabbis and Pop eyes,
And bye bye, bye byes.
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

Let me tell you now
Ev'rybody's talking about
Revolution, Evolution, Mastication, Flagelolation, Regulations.
Integrations, Meditations, United Nations, Congratulations
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

Oh Let's stick to it
Ev'rybody's talking about

All we are saying is give peace a chance
