At least Lennon had an excuse. He thought the Beatles were more popular than Jesus as I recall.

I was reminded recently of Lennon's "Imagine"...

"Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man."

I was reminded of these lyrics after Lennon's *purple Rolls Royce limosine* was auctioned for a million dollars. Too bad he didn't believe in what he sang.

How many kids would stand in line to get into church? His point was that few would and he thought that was wrong. His quote has been taken out of context since it was said. And I'm NOT a Lennon fan. I was shocked when I finally saw that part of the interview as it was not what has been repeated.
