His father also had some wacky political opinions, but every so often, he’d come out with something so clearheaded and blunt that it shocked the hippies. Recall how he told Chairman Mao and all the deluded commies to shove it in “Revolution.”

You nailed it. He obviously hated Britain’s high taxes, too.

Rumor has it he and Reagan were pretty chummy and really hit it off when they crossed paths during the ‘80 campaign. My own hunch is that had Lennon lived, he would have become less politically left and more eclectic in his old age. Who knows, it’s just a hunch.

He said privately that “Imagine” was “just a song” and it shouldn’t be over-analyzed and turned into some kind of deep anthem. Of course after he died, that’s exactly what happened.

Before being murdered John Lennon actually became a rather close friend of, wait for it:

Pat Robertson

That was long after he sang the song entitled: “Imagine”.
