Will George W. Bush finally Give Peace a Chance?

Posted in Canadian, Culture, Entertainment, History, Musicians, Rock History on Oct 18, 2009

George W. Bush is going to talk about his days in the old White house. That’s nice and all but his speech will be taking place in the same Montreal hotel where John Lennon and Yoko were asking everyone who would listen to them to give peace a chance? I know, this can’t be right but it is! This story is just so weird and ironic that I can’t find the words to describe it properly.

Didn’t someone think about the mockery, not to mention the humour, that would come with using a venue like this for such a purpose? Think what happened there at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel 40 years ago and what it was all really about. Doesn’t Bush have some PR person who looks out for his image? God’s that’s funny … I think?

This article from The Canadian Press by Andy Blatchford, really caught my eye and I just wanted to share it with you all.

So what do you think about the irony of this one? Is it just me or am I just blowing this event out of proportion? Enjoy!

Keep on Jammin’

    This is kind of Ironic in an Alanis Morissette defined way. I have the answer to your PR. When you have hit rock bottom and your PR can’t get any worse, why spend the money on a PR Person?
