    Ultimately, the Beatles withdrew their participation in live performances and henceforth, “they were no longer able to rely on their participation in a demanding touring schedule to bind them together as colleagues; instead they became competitors” (Cantrell, Ingles, 118). In addition, the Beatles increased success during the course of the years and with that success, fans had developed favorites. This preferentialism led to an “increasing number of invitations and opportunities to engage in solo projects” (Ingles, 118). This individualism seeped into the music and momentarily the Beatles were unable to cooperate amongst another and their music started to individualize. This individualization was present due to “musical differences and rivalries” that were only amplified due to “the constant presence of Yoko Ono during the recording sessions” (Ingles,…

    To attract other people to their cause, the concert promoters use popular musical artists to entertain and educate the masses on the anti-war efforts of the 1960s. Finally, John Lennon, an ex-band member of the popular rock group The Beatles, recorded a song called “Give Peace a Chance” in 1969. The popular song is essentially a live cut, recorded by crowding several people into a Montreal recording studio. Backed only by Lennon’s guitar, a tambourine, and the chants and claps of people, the song asks the listener to ponder the main chorus, “Give Peace a Chance.” While many of the lyrics are controversial in their approach, Lennon alludes to several popular key figures, including the aforementioned Bob Dylan. One verse alludes to the urgency for the United Nations to end the war when Lennon Sings, “regulation, integrations/meditations, United Nations/Congratulations.” The song is an effective and artful protest of the war, since everyone sings in harmony, showing how many people can find a common ground in their protest of the Vietnam War. In essence, the song is perhaps the simplest anthem of the late 1960s, appealing to everyone affected by the…
