Japanese conceptual artist, who's art seems to be everything that she says, Yoko Ono has spoken about her late husband John Lennon's protests against the Vietnam War.
She doesn't believe there are many parallels between the way she and Lennon protested against war and how it's done now, but only because the times they have-a changed.According to Canadian website Jam! she said in a recent interview ""I think there are many people who want world peace and want to address it by peaceful means."
"I think that they are speaking out in different ways, it is not the time where you can just do a press conference about it. They are doing it through songs, doing it through charities."
She also said Lennon, who protested the Vietnam War by staging a bed-in with Ono, where they stayed in bed for weeks at a time in both Amsterdam and Montreal, "didn't think he was doing anything wrong, he was just giving some truth and justice."
Meanwhile, an Alabama couple have chosen a not-so-different approach to protesting war, and moved their bed into their living room where they will remain until the Iraq War is over.
Ernie Seewer told reporters "Like John Lennon and Yoko said, 'hey, we don't mind acting the fools ... if we can get our message out'."
Unlike Lennon and Ono, Seewer and his wife Lynn will still go to work and go about their daily lives, but they'll just sleep in the living room.
