This morning on Fox News, they ended a segment with a clip of Neil Young, in his old cowboy hat, singing IMAGINE. This was at last nite's show in Hollywood to presumably benefit the families of the victims of the act of war in New York.
I've been waiting for someone to post a link to prove that it is true, but nobody has yet. I think it's another one of those rumors flying around on freerepublic.com.
Imagine!
I'm sure you can,
If you try hard enough,
And Congress lent a hand
To pass a Law and take a stand
Calling Mother Nature's bluff.
Learn how to think logically.
Hmmmm...I have absolutely NO IDEA how you come to the conclusion the song is about the marxist revolution and the new communist man. Are you kidding and this is a joke? Here are the lyrics. Please show me how you come up with that analysis. Thanks.
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Wretched bump.
Still waiting for the link showing that the money raised in this fundraiser is really going to the liberal causes.
Well? What's taking so long?
I used to live in Midland, Texas. It's in what's called the Permian Basin. No hills, no rivers, no lakes. minimal topographical difference.
In both cases....you can't tell the low points from the high ones.
...and this does not strike you as Communist? Hmmm.
Never mind what I said to you above; it is impossible for you to think logically.
Those four words make you believe this song is about Marxist and communism? And you have the nerve to TELL ME TO THINK LOGICALLY? LMAO!
I am sure it will be. However, when all is said and done, the money will go to the liberal,leftist causes that the hollywierd crowd supports.
You know it, and so do I.
My wife told me some loser in a beat-up cowboy hat sang Imagine, but she didn't know who it was. I decided after that the evening would be full of this kind of crap so I went and did something constructive- I played Mechwarrior3. (LOL)
Lennon had a burnt crumpet for a brain, courtesy of all the drugs he took. He was also an anti-religious, self-righteous fool whose great "peace" meisterwerk comprised the asinine drone "All we are s-a-a-a-a-y-y-y-y-i-n-n-n-g-g-g is give peace a chance" repeated endlessly to flashing peace signs and dope-dream grins.
The only thing Lennon knew about peace was how to indugle his pathetic little appetites in it. He didn't know the first thing about how peace is created and maintained. Better men--anonymous and unsung men--fought and died to achieve that end.
And in his early years, Lennon wrote several decent and memorable rock and roll and pop songs.
