John Lennon also asked us to imagine NO HEAVEN, NO COUNRTIES, NO POSSESSIONS, NO RELIGION too.
And he hopes someday we’ll join him so that the world will live as one...
Imagine there’s no Yoko.
Lennon wrote that, many people have adopted it, he was wrong to write it. That said, I understand once a friend was visiting him and he had some sort of expensive collection of China plates, something like this. His friend said to him, “But John, you wrote that song, “no possessions”” and Lennon said “It’s just a bloody song”.

Now that he’s dead I wonder if he’s changed his tune about no heaven and no religion. And for a guy who said “no possessions” he sure had a lot of ‘em. I guess people forget he was just a songwriter and not an atheist preacher...I know a crazy gal that acts as though he’s a god and worships him. She’s liberal of course not that I had to say it.
“John Lennon also asked us to imagine NO HEAVEN, NO COUNRTIES, NO POSSESSIONS, NO RELIGION too.”
Most people, sadly, do imagine “no heaven”.
Countries have been disappearing and breaking apart since he said that (i.e., during the Cold War), with the Middle East (ISIS) only being the latest...no much “Utopia” there.
No possessions is just freaky - even dogs have possessions (or at least my neighbor’s do acted that way, once he got his paws on a toy of my dog).
No Religion: Mission just about totally accomplished in the West...at least in his context (i.e., Christianity). Of course other religions have stepped in, from atheism to Islam. Religion isn’t going away...rather only a SINGLE religion is going away - the religion that lifted us out of the stone age...so back we go.
A broken clock is right twice a day...
Imagine there's no John Lennon....oh, wait.....
