AMEN! Worst piece of tripe ever written!
Amen, brother.
Whenever I see Imagine ranked as the #1 song on some some list, I think "that schmaltzy pablum? Sweet Mother of Pearl, even the Swinging Medallions had better songs. If Lennon hadn't been shot outside the Dakota, the song would be ranked just ahead of "Please, Mr. Custer," and just behind "My Ding-a-Ling."
The lyrics are like a poem written by junior high school student, and as for the sincerity? Well, I can 'imagine no possessions,' but John, Yoko, and the Lennon estate have done quite well with royalties off that abortion of a song.
And, believe it or not, I LIKE John Lennon.
