If Lennon thought “no possessions” were such a good thing, why didn’t he give away his own possessions?
...
Probably because Imagine is just a song and most people, including the author only care what it sounds like. The words are little more than sounds that go along in harmony with the sounds of the instruments. I recently read that when “Imagine” was music only, Lennon was excited because he thought he’d written a melody equal to McCartney’s “Yesterday,” which was called “scrambled eggs” before McCartney came up with the actual lyrics.
Most people, the masses, do not care. This is a problem, don't you think? Entertainment has the overall effect of weakening a people, the most of them.
I do like the melody of “Imagine.” Just not the words.
