No. You’re thinking of “Honey” by Bobby Goldsboro.

Waterloo was another one I remember. Mandy. It was pretty awful.

From the first time I heard it, I thought it was absolute trash. It has no redeeming qualities at all. I feel sorry for the clown if that is the way his mind worked.

It's such an incredibly naive way to look at things. There will always be things to kill or die for, because there will always be bad guys.

But of course all of these “Peace and Love” types who protested the Vietnam War, had no problem with the Viet Cong going around and slaughtering entire villages.

“I love Mcarthur Park!”

I do too. I was only 14 when it came out, so it’s impossible for me to dislike it. On the surface, the lyrics sound ridiculous, but they actually tell a real story.

IMAGINE was prominently featured in the movie, “The Killing Fields.”
The intent was ironic, to show the disparity between the naive beliefs of those who fall for the Communist party line, versus the reality.

The film was about the Pol Pot regime of Cambodia. It’s a must-see for every FReeper, and anyone with a brain, for that matter.

The scene in the concentration camp classroom, where the little boy is called to the front of the class, and the class then applauds him, is one of the most chilling —and truthful—I’ve ever seen in any movie.

As has often been pointed out, Lennon was not sufficiently moved by his own lyrics to share his wealth with the world, as he called upon the rich of the world to do in the song.

If the BLM types ever gained power, it would look a lot like the Pol Pot regime.

John Lennon used the theme of "imagine no possessions, imagine if you can....." He sang about the "brotherhood of man" and if everyone shared.

He was worth $800,000,000 at his demise. Left all to Yoko Ono. He knew hard scrabble living in Liverpool in his early years. The old adage rings in my years. Something to the effect of leaving the act of philanthropy to others.

Written by the same guy who wrote "The Pina Colada Song".
