Condi to hear "Imagine" sung to her at concert in Liverpool

[Poiuyt]

One of the artists at tonight's concert in Liverpool, Jennifer John, has chosen to sing John Lennon's Imagine as a direct riposte to Ms Rice.

She said: "There was no way on earth that I would be prepared to sing at this event purely for entertainment value. I felt it would have been immoral for me to not make a stand."

"After conversations with Simon Glinn , we agreed that the song I could and should sing was Imagine.

"The opportunity to stand opposite the most powerful black woman in history, whose politics I do not share, and sing Imagine is not something that I could refuse."

4. Good for Jennifer John! But I fear you are right. The point will

be lost on the "brilliant" Condoleezza (sic) Rice.

3. She should also be forced the documentary Spike Lee did for HBO.

The one about the four girls killed in the church bombing. She claimed to be friends with one of them. Maybe this will refresh her memory about how things use to be.

5. awesome......but,

I'll bet politics jump in here, and she is "discouraged" from singing this particular song. Can someone follow this story and report back tomorrow if it actually happens, and what the audience reaction/condi reaction is?

6. Imagine there's no countries, it's easy if you try

Condi might be on board with that part of the song, just not the way John Lennon meant it.

"And the world will live as one"

Condi "Yes, they will all live as one, one nation under ME, bwaahahahahah"

7. Imagine
