it does put you in a trance. never noticed the words until i really looked into it.
The beatles were a demonic influence that had a huge role in destroying Christian america
Lennon supported Reagan in 1980. He couldn't stand Carter.
* shallow and only dreamers from the 60’s who are dying off now pay any attention to the meaning.* It worked.
*It’s easy to write these types of things when you are a multi-millionaire thinking that you are smarter than everyone else.* Lefties get a pass on that stuff-think Capt. Obvious.
*I don’t think Lennon was a commie,* he said he wasn’t-he was then given a pass.
*He later repudiated it.* He may have but did he really?
*I have heard Lennon liked Reagan.* They met on Monday Nite Football. Reagan described the game and Lennon listened like a schoolboy. Read it somewhere. He hated Nixon.
*The lyrics are garbage. I can appreciate the melody though.*Deal wit it. We aren’t.
*he was donating to the IRA when they were blowing up civilians.* Palestinians would like him.
And you know that had to drive Yoko nuts. And remember John had an affair a few years earlier.
As Dennis Leary put it..."What kind of country is this where John Lennon gets six bullets in the chest, and Yoko is standing right next to him and not one effing bullet? Explain THAT to me!"
Imagine we can all sit on our asses and get high, and nobody will be producing any food or dope.
Limousine liberal, (first) wife beater and (first)child ignorer, who wrote some nice songs in his 20s with another guy.
He also wrote Revolution.
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out (in)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
All right?
Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re all doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)
You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We’d all love to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow....
John was easily manipulated by the Zeitgeist of the moment.
He left out the last verse about all the mass graves of the producers and property owners.

Reagan and Lennon at Monday night football having fun.
Then the Atlantic,

“John, basically, made it very clear that if he were an American he would vote for Reagan because he was really sour on (Democrat) Jimmy Carter.”
“He’d met Reagan back, I think, in the 70s at some sporting event... Reagan was the guy who had ordered the National Guard, I believe, to go after the young (peace) demonstrators in Berkeley, so I think that John maybe forgot about that... He did express support for Reagan, which shocked me.”
“I also saw John embark in some really brutal arguments with my uncle, who’s an old-time communist... He enjoyed really provoking my uncle... Maybe he was being provocative... but it was pretty obvious to me he had moved away from his earlier radicalism.”
“He was a very different person back in 1979 and 80 than he’d been when he wrote Imagine. By 1979 he looked back on that guy and was embarrassed by that guy’s naivete.”
Or at least no 95% tax bracket like he was paying in the UK. That “1 for you, 19 for me” from “Taxman” was the literal truth for the Beatles.
“Communism doesn’t work because people like to own stuff.” - Frank Zappa
Oh and Zappa was no fan.

It’s insane the people that receive worship in this world.
They are loved because they are a big part of this fallen world. They are demonic and evil, in my opinion.
Imagine him today, joining clapner et al doing concerts during covid denouncing fauci. Hey, maybe he'd grow up :)
Not all of Audie Murphy’s generation were dreamers of a negative type.
You know, the fact remains. When people are provoked to outrage, venom and vitriol by John Lennon, it says more about them that it does Lennon.
