>Or....you might listen to better music?
Absolutely. If you don't like a piece of music, listen to something else.
I really like the Beatles. I really like the John Lennon/Paul McCartney songwriting team. I don't interpret the lyrics to 'Imagine' the way the author does. It's that simple.
There's plenty of songs that I don't like because I find the lyrics offensive and there's nothing else that redeems the song or lyrics. There's songs whose lyrics I give a pass because the song is so good/funny/thought provoking. Heck, by the author's methodology there probably isn't a single Frank Zappa song that would remain standing, and I ain't about to stop listening to Zappa!

I actually like allot of Beatles songs. I just happen to hate what Imagine represents (The Lyrics are clear IMNSHO). LOL!

I am all for the "art" of music and the ability to take us place, provoke thought and even challenge ideas - but to me some ideas are not for challenging - the ones I got right anyway.

I disagree with some of what you will find on Dark Side of the Moon - but I listen anyway.... a bit hypocritical I guess - but then that is why a Utopia as Imagine will never work isn't it!
