When John Lennon and Yoko Ono held their famous Bed-In for Peace at Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth in 1969, they were hardly alone. The peaceful pair spoke to some 150 journalists a day as the former Beatle penned the lyrics of "Give Peace a Chance". Timothy and Rosemary Leary, Allen Ginsberg, Petula Clark and many other gifted musicians were called into Suite 1742. They recorded the song that became the anthem of the anti-war movement and sung by half a million demonstrators at Capitol Hill.
