Of course, that's what alot of people do. And then, there are those of us who actually listen to the lyrics of the songs which catch our ear.
The point of the article is that the lyrics of this song are a lie. The world he is singing about is not a nice world. And the means he recommends for getting there have been tried, and killed tens of millions of innocent people.
It's like listening to a song celebrating Aryan supremacy, and responding with "but it's got a really snappy beat".
There's something brain-dead in that response.
True, true. Every time I hear "Imagine" on the radio, I dissect the lyrics to my very conservative wife, and she kinda rolls her eyes at me for ruining a nice song. As much as I "like" the song, the lyrics do give me a problem, but mostly because they are real stupid. Now, if I thought people were really listening and believing all that cr*p, then I would be worried. But your point is well taken.
