Rock, the song is just about one of the most nonsensical things ever put to music outside of disco and rap. Read your lyrics again. They reflect a worldview of complete fantasy. We were given a lesson on 9-11 of what happens to those who live in such make- believe worlds. The sentiments in "Imagine", and the movement that produced them, were partly responsible for our lack of defense on 9-11. They existed not to promote peace, but because a lot of freeloaders couldn't "imagine" actually doing their duty to their countries. It was about ass-saving, not some impossible "peace"

"Rock, the song is just about one of the most nonsensical things ever put to music outside of disco and rap. Read your lyrics again. They reflect a worldview of complete fantasy" Good point, but how many songs in existence would fall into this category? Sorry, but I just don't seen anything wrong with Neil Young singing this song last night, and I DON'T EVEN REALLY LIKE THE SONG!
I agree with Foxnews.com analysis of the song:
"And yet there were some pointed moments. Neil Young sang John Lennons Imagine, a song banned by Clear Channel radio in the last week because of its lyrics. Good for him"
