Lennon introduced the episode as "Peace Weekend," setting the tone for a discussion centered around their peace campaign. Joining them on the show was Rabbi Abhraham Feinberg, who had participated in the chorus of "Give Peace A Chance."
Broadcasting live from the CBC Studio in Toronto, the interview touched on various aspects of Lennon and Ono's activism. A notable moment occurred when legislator Russell Doern, linked up from Winnipeg, read a letter from Manitoba's premier inviting Lennon and Ono to promote peace in the province. Lennon's enthusiastic response showcased his genuine commitment to the cause.
During the interview, Lennon explained his choice of Canada for their peace campaign, expressing a desire to avoid being labeled as "Mr. and Mrs. Dead Saint of 1970." Rabbi Feinberg echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the campaign's aim to transcend political boundaries and resonate with people on a grassroots level.
Despite some skepticism, particularly regarding the effectiveness of their efforts, Lennon and Ono remained steadfast in their belief that their campaign had value in fostering dialogue and spreading the message of peace.
