John sure ‘imagined’ no taxes, that’s why he moved to the US from Britain.

Some American Libs told Maduro that this song carries a
‘special message’ to Americans. Ahh, actually, it doesn’t really. Musically, it’s a good song and the lyrics are fairly thoughtful, but I have never held the song in reverence, as many agnostics seem to do, whenever they want to appear as ‘ smart, wise and spiritual’.

**Another ‘Go To’ song for those non religious is “Hallelujah”
by Leonard Cohen. That is the song SNL cast member Kate McKinnon sang as the Cold Open on the saturday after Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016.
More faux-spirituality a-la-mode for the unchurched masses.

Lennon was also a big fan of Ronald Reagan when he was elected the first time...

Kind of like how some thought “One Toke Over The Line” was a ‘modern spiritual’.

He met Reagan during a Monday Night Football game, when Lennon was interviewed by Howard Cosell at halftime. It was the first time he watched an American football game, and he met Reagan. Reagan put his arm around John and explained some of the rules of the game to him.

Good one, dfwgator. Joe— here is the reference. Lennon’s idiotic tune imagine—the lyrics are pure Marxist throughout.
Plastic banana Marxism.

So the bus driver Maduro/Commie sings this? It should be noted that Garth Brooks and his idiot wyf sang this in a Nashville presser— thereby cementing is demonrat multimillionaire trust fund heir to oil money who thinks he’s a country star. Whatever.

Here is the song dfwgator quoted— from Steely Dan (written to ridicule the idiocy of John Lennon, and they made it plain to all that it was directed at Lennon).

“Only a Fool Would Say That”:

“Imagine” is perhaps the most evil song ever written!

And Becker and Fagen were as liberal as they come, but even they saw through it.

No surprise, John Lenin said it was basically the communist manifesto put to music.
