Here’s something to brighten your day, one week into what promises to be another dark year under DJT’s heel.
Parlez-vous Bed-in?
A few posts ago, Petula Clark explained a personal crisis she experienced in 1969. Performing a bilingual show in Montreal she tried, and failed, to please both the French and English speakers in the audience.
Reduced to tears, on a whim Petula visited with John and Yoko at their infamous Montreal bed-in. She explained the cause of her distress and John’s advice was, “fuck ’em!”
The split between French and English language music in Quebec in mid-1969 can be heard in the two most recent ’88 Rewound’ programs on WMBR, the MIT radio station.

I wonder if King Features retains some rights to the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine?
