Remember when they had to stop singing Happy Birthday at restaurants because Sir Paul owned the rights?

I keep thinking “Imagine there was never a Lennon.....”

[gridlock]

If this piano shows up at Ground Zero, I will personally hop on a train so I can go spit on it.

One of the few small satisfactions that came out of 9/11 is that all the mindless FM veg-head stations immediately put Imagine into heavy, heavy rotation. They were then inundated by an avalanche of calls telling them to get that POS off the air. Imagine was, blissfully, not heard on NYC radio for at least two years.

It's making a comeback now, unfortunately.

Has the piano been to Ground Zero? Seem that a pretty violent act happened there nearly six years ago. Has It been to the Pentagon? That field in Pennsylvania?

Zimmerman wrote that a Virginia Tech graduate student spent over an hour with the piano. The student played a song she composed for a murdered friend, and described the hour as “symbolic and healing.”

Did it also sign it's autograph for her?

Continuing on this communist rant, the song says, “Imagine no possessions/I wonder if you can/No need for greed or hunger/A brotherhood of man.”

No possessions? Like Lennon’s expensive piano? Or his NYC condo? Or his hundreds upon hundreds of millions in cold hard cash? Those possessions?

[Zionist Conspirator]

1)Lennon's song is one big contradiction, since it advocates an idealism to do away with idealism (if there's nothing to kill or die for, why "imagine" anything???).

2)Atheist one-worlders never seem to have the guts to suggest that mystical Third World nationalists give up their sovereignty. What kind of "one world government" do they really envision--Israel and America???

[wideawake]

The best lyric is:

Nothing to kill or die for

In other words, nothing of any value.

[reagan_fanatic]

The hypocrisy of liberals is enough to make your head spin.

[gridlock]

You cannot coexist with somebody who wants you dead.

[Pietro]

"I blame Yoko"

Let's face it, we all do.

You cannot coexist with somebody who wants you dead.

Nihilism.

If there is nothing you are willing to die for, you also have no real reason to continue living.

[rock_lobsta]

Which reminds me of my next point...

Don’t Do Drugs!

[eddie willers]

I blame Yoko.

Who doesn't?

[Disciplinemisanthropy]

chapman?

[Rummyfan]

“Imagine”, the anthem of every aging-leftist hippie, is perhaps the most absurd song ever written.

Thank You Thank You Thank You! I couldn't agree more wholeheartedly!

Lennon’s magnum opus is an ode to atheism, communism, and the songwriter’s own ignorance of the forms of government, economic systems and faith traditions necessary to produce the peace and brotherhood the so-called smart Beatle dreamed of.

Hey he was just a rich musician, who by the way, supported the IRA amongst his other philanthropy.

imagine no possessions. so i guess that would make it the people’s piano. i want to play twinkle twinkle little star on it, but they wont let me. im sure its owned by someone as an investment.
