Maybe they can get Micheal Jackson and others to sing We Are The World again.

Maybe it would sound better if Yoko sang it…

Oh wait. My bad. I had Julian and Sean mixed up. I was talking about Sean.

Julian was never anything more than a cheap bitch-clone of his dad... who was kind of a bitch himself.

“But I particularly hate that song. I always did.”
Double ditto, I also hate the 70’s or 80’ Pepsi song. The one that says, something about ‘the world living in perfect harmony, it’s the real thing’.

The problem with Leftists, is that they always imagine.

It’s cost everyone else untold destruction.

John Lennon, entertainment wise, was the absolute worst of the 4 Beatles.

I turn off any song that starts on SiriusXM as it’s as bad as Neil Young.

Imagine is one of those bland lowest common denominator songs that I suppose the masses like but I abhor. The great John Lennon who had all those masterpieces could also do bland given enough drugs and yoko.

LOL! How ‘bout the maggot who shot President Reagan? What’s he doing with his concert money?

I appreciate the sentiment. But I particularly hate that song. I always did.

It is a frigging Commie song. If people are going to sing this rotten song by the rotten John Lennon, at least do it with lyrics that accurately reflect the Commie nature of the song as the Babylon Bee has done.

A better song is Extreme's "Rest In Peace".

Released around the time of the Gulf War, guitarist extraordinaire Nuno Bettencourt said

"Lyrically, there was a lot of stuff going on: we were in the Gulf War at that time, and would watch people with signs outside the White House that said "MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR." We thought that war is not that simple. Nobody wants war until somebody is invading their country. So we thought about the statement "Make Love, Not War." We know that America is going into different countries and certain areas, but you hope and have faith that it's for the right reasons. And when there are genocides and things like that going on, that's what inspired that period of the Gulf War. We don't love war - we definitely love "love" more. But it was just saying, "It's really not that simple."

Let's talk of peace,
Sounds so cliche
A novelty, catch phrase of the day
Middle, index,
Sign of the time
Just as complex,
As water to...

Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending,
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of,

Hypocrisy,
Don't tread on me,
Now you can see

(chorus) MAKE LOVE NOT WAR, SOUNDS SO ABSURD, TO ME
WE CAN'T AFFORD TO SAY THESE WORDS, LIGHTLY
OR ELSE OUR WORLD, WILL TRULY, REST IN PEACE

(Child cynically says "ban the bomb")

Let's not pretend,
to justify
Rather amend,
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart,
Peace can be found
That's where you start,
Not all around

Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending,
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of,

Hypocrisy,
Don't tread on me, boy
Now you can see

Chorus

Chorus

Chorus

Ben Shapiro trashes Imagine.

I must be the outlier here.

I think Imagine is one of the most beautiful songs of the 20th century.

I get a lump in my throat whenever I hear it.

Song should be called Satan’s Anthem.

You know there are no concerts or songs for the South African White Farmers who are burned in their houses and wives and daughters are raped before having their throats slit.

Funny how that works.
