Come Together originated as a campaign slogan for Timothy Leary, who was running for governor of California against Ronald Reagan in the 1970 election. The LSD guru and his wife, Rosemary, were invited to Montreal for John Lennon and Yoko Onos Bed-In in June 1969, and they sang along on the recording of Give Peace a Chance (and were given a shout-out in the lyrics). Lennon asked Leary if there was anything he could do to help his candidacy. The Learys wanted me to write them a campaign song, Lennon told Rolling Stone, and their slogan was Come together. He knocked out what he called a chant-along thing, and Leary took the demo tape home and aired it on some radio stations. - Rolling Stone cc: Carter Moody Conrado Shamandero Cuellar Gayle Graybeal Frank Pope Sri David Anthony Kaufmann Anthony Torres Samantha Paitakis Dave Davies Doobie Lundquist Jack Calish Karen Hutchison-Adair Jim McDermott Jim R S Björklund Majic Love Octavia Etcetera Stremple Bonnie Legassie-Sheehy Howard Young Paula Sirois Ras KenTon Aten Dave Rusk Emily MacDonald Cheryl Baker
