Commenting on(.) his return of the MBE, his bed-ins(.), and his appearance (with Yoko Ono) concealed inside a large white bag(.) at London's Royal Albert Hall, Lennon demonstrated his awareness of the necessity to combine political argument with the manipulation of the media: 'Henry Ford knew how to sell cars by advertising. I'm selling peace at whatever the cost. Yoko and I are just one big advertising campaign'.

(.)there has long been an implicit recognition of the role of film as a vehicle for ideas.(.)popular music has largely evaded that kind of official interrogation & in some ways this is surprising(.)the lyrics of songs as the Small Faces 'Itchycoo Park', Cooper's 'School Is Out' & Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall' are among many to have contested the authority of traditional sources of knowledge & its delivery.
