Today we are listening to songs that were trying to stop the war in Vietnam and create peace around the world, the song that I listened to was Give peace a chance by John Lennon my opinion on what the song means is that we should start spreading peace around and give peace a chance. This song was played at a concert called the Woodstock which was held on the 15th of august 1969 where over 400,000 people attended, mostly everyone at the concerts were hippy's or protesters who where trying to spread awareness about creating peace and to try stop the war in Vietnam because they seen no point in it.
