“You tell me its the institution Well, you know You better free you mind instead But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao You aint going to make it with anyone anyhow”

That song always seemed to me quite an anomaly in the Lennon oeuvre.
Mao was passe at that time. You had to be carrying pictures of Che. You weren’t hip if you didn’t.
