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"

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 Lennon’s “Imagine,” a song banned by Clear Channel radio in the last week because of its lyrics. Good for him"
