1. Was he right on with 'Imagine' or fucking what?
Most prolific lyrics to a song ever!

Then Bohemian Rhapsody!

10. Yes, he certainly was...
and it's no small wonder why those worthless fucks at KKKlearChannel banned that song. They can't IMAGINE!

2. Have you ever heard
of the tribute to George Martin CD, In My Life? Buncha celebs and some actual musicians covering Beatles songs. I loved the version of Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End that Phil Collins does, but the rest is "Golden Throats" level...

4. Isn't it ironic that John Lennon, a multimillionaire wrote a song called
working class hero? God I hate that song!

13. No.
He was charitable, but he left a widow and young son behind.

19. John Lennon wasn't always a multimillionaire.
Edited on Fri Jun-11-04 07:03 PM by BlackVelvetElvis
He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

29. New York City .....
Plastic Ono Elephant's Memory (POEM) .... in those days, Lennon played with my old friend David Peel (of D.P. & the Lower East Side Gang). It was a strange time.

26. Working Class Hero
is a great song. It's Imagine without the sugar-coating, according to John. Another great song is Luck of the Irish.

28. To each his/her own.
I accord everyone the right to like whatever type of music they want, without feeling any need to insult it. However, I will comment on an insult made regarding John. Saying things like the song is not good, because John was rich when he wrote it, shows a lack of insight. A group like MoveOn.Org is "rich" compared to individual DUers. Does that compromise their message? (republicans think so!) In many, many cases, it takes a great deal of money to create social changes. A friend once commented on Gandhi that "it took a fortune to keep him in poverty." John made a lot of money, because so many people bought his albums. One could conclude his music was pretty darned good.

30. You're right
I agree with what your comments that are stated here.

My first reply to you was kind of a tongue-in-cheek remark if will, just made about previous posts... that's all.
