When I listen to “Imagine”...in my mind’s eye I see a barren, lifeless plain. The result of a war the destroys everything.
“World Peace”
Homeostasis.
I first heard “Imagine” on a German radio station in 1972. The DJ didn’t back-announce the songs, so I didn’t know who sang it or that it was a big hit in the English-speaking world. But it struck me when I first heard it that it was a Communist anthem, which is probably why it wasn’t played on the US Armed Forces Network stations in Germany, which I listened to so as to keep up on the US news and the Top 40 hits.
