Of all the great John Lennon songs, this one, Imagine, was one I never cared for. To me it was more Yoko Ono than Lennon.
Interesting comment, CA.
If I knew nothing at all about the people involved, I'd probably love this song, but by then John & Yoko were multi-millionaires singing from a fabulous house in the countryside, the words tend to jar -- "Imagine no possessions...."
The big white piano ended up in Jamaica with Michael X and his radical fringe group.
Sometimes it's better to just hear the music, or see the art, without knowing anything about who created it, or why.
Hi Blinkers, very good to see you! I always enjoy your comments.
I admit, this song kinda made me angry. To me it always seemed fake, and saccharine and not at all like the Lennon style I learned to love. He always seemed more edgy, rowdy and honest. He was even a bit of a bozo sometimes but he was basically just "John" and often "pizzin'" people off on a regular basis. "Imagine", to me, always sounded contrived, very shallow and a weak attempt at political correctness. It definitely wasn't John's, he wasn't that sweet. (Remember "Norwegian Wood", was he really singing about burning down that poor girls home?)
Great to see you, I am off to sleep in a minute with a long day ahead tomorrow!
