The blog Petula Clark: Driven By Emotion is suddenly available only by invitation. I don’t know if this is intentional or accidental. When it was open there was no contact information, so if the blogger sees this, and you intend to keep the blog restricted, please contact me at dograt@dograt.com. Thanks.

Once again our friends over at the blog Petula Clark: Driven by Emotion have linked back here with words of praise. I was hoping to take a break, but now I’ve got to get back on the stick and get blogging some more! But seriously, thanks for the kind words, and for all of the great Pet music that you’re posting.
Pet Says The “F” Word
Here is a brief video interview with Petula Clark, who explains her presence at the 1969 John and Yoko Bed-In.

Petula Dreams With Bobby Darin
The multi-talented entertainer Bobby Darin died on December 20, 1973. On February 2, 1973 The Bobby Darin Show featured this duet with Petula Clark.

This video was glommed from YouTube. A few dropped frames here and there, but otherwise a nicely done transfer.
Hello, Mrs. Chips
How about some more of Petula Clark in Goodbye, Mr. Chips? About 18 minutes more.

Complete “Give Peace A Chance” On DVD
Previously on DogRat.com, I featured a video with a brief glimpse of Petula Clark at the infamous 1969 LennOno “bed-in.” The New Musical Express in England is reporting that a DVD of the complete recording session, Give Peace A Song, is being released at the end of the month. NME says…
‘Give Peace a Song’ also features over 35 minutes of bonus material including television interviews, a John and Yoko press conference and Petula Clark’s visit to the bed-in.
This is confusing, because Amazon.com lists the DVD as having been released in 2006. One of the DVD chapters is “Petula Clark Visits The Bed-In.”
I don’t know if the NME item is something old that was posted in error, nor do I know how much footage there is of Pet on the DVD, but it sounds like a video worth seeing.
