Paul McCartney did that wonderful TV show about the Myster Writer in New England that solved a Murder every week.

Lest we forget the damage done to the moral fabric of our nation by Satan's minstrels, here are the lyrics to "Imagine" by John Lennon. A song still prominently played at most major venues and poignant to all but those who actually understand its horrifying "fundamentally transformed" implications...
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will live as one
If you're going to talk about Lennon songs at least talk about the good ones.
Every time Christmas season comes around how the hell did this song become a standard. The DJs and program directors never bothered to read the lyrics?
From what I understand Lennon was a complicated character. I heard storied about he was going to the right when he was murdered.
Ha-ha, Mr. Wilson,
Ha-ha, Mr. Heath....
Answer: “Imagine no possessions.”
Question: What did Yoko Ono say to Julian Lennon and Cynthia Lennon when they asked Yoko why they were getting such a tiny portion of John Lennon’s inheritance?
I quit listening after “Imagine”...and kicked myself for not stopping after “Back in the USSR”
Satan’s Minstrels suck.
I can’t even see how they play clubs anymore.
Like only two songs ever got any radio play and only for a week each.
Saw them live once and was disappointed.
We will never know now.
One can imagine all the flowery crap in the song but when it comes to implement it all, you will ALWAYS end up with a tyrant on top because the power to re-distribute is the power to re-distribute to yourself and no human’s soul can survive that temptation.

Don’t tell me you saw them at a gay bar?
He also wrote “revolution”, a smackdown to the Bill Ayers idiots of the world. He performed on “Taxman” too.

I recently read an interview where Lennon acknowledged that this song was simple minded nonsense and he came across as having some common sense. But treating artists as serious thinkers is a fool’s errand for the most part.
