Imagine, a song I once enjoyed but actually can no longer stand. Hasn't it been overplayed? It is nothing but an amalgam of Yoko Ono's Grapefruit and Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. Interesting that the flier that was handed out stated that it was the #1 song of the 19th century. Well, that IS when the ideas in the song started gaining ground but really, we all know that the ideas were tried and found wanting. Who really wants a socio-political system that has envy and egalite at its center? Who really thinks this is a profound song anymore?

Who really thinks this is a profound song anymore?

Well I don't, and I don't think I'm the only one.

Imagine is a great example of people not listening to the lyrics of songs. I am one of the few who do, and so of course to me it was clear that is is nothing but a song in praise of Communism for a long time.

Better they should sing "Tax man" or even "Rocky Racoon".

I never like this song and found it offensive companies were taking out ads with it after 9/11. "Imagine there's no Heaven"

It's fair to posit most humans and their leaders don't even agree with the sentiment... As CBC commentator Brian Williams observed Friday, it's a disgrace that the Israeli competitors murdered in the Munich Games have never been memorialized at subsequent events.

Those two sentences are related.

Imagine Peter Gabriel becoming one of the 9/11 attack deniers, and working to undermine the US Government as well as Western Civilization as a whole:
