On this day in 1969, John Lennon and Yoko Ono began an eight-day 'bed in', in room 1742 of The Hotel La Reine Elizabeth, Montreal, Canada, to promote world peace. The promotion failed. It is impossible to promote "world peace" by staging a "bed-in" while being "in bed" with the communists, socialists, liberals, fascist and the rest of the radically insane groups who want to rule the world.
