If JL was speaking of anything other than the truth, speaking of anything but peace, he would not be lying in his grave right now

I'm certain there's a back story to the Mark Chapman thing and CIA involvement...they didn't want a consciousness like that causing them trouble. Saying that even death hasn't killed the guy!

it seems as though when a character comes up in the cultural story that expresses things in this way, they transcend time. its almost like peace *gasp* is timeless.

Yeah when you break down Johns lyrics in this Imagine song, its really a crock of shit.

Cant blame him though, this was really the first massive uprising while being doused in all sorts of psychedelics to avoid the real issues such as war and vietnam etc.

Guys I like John but to suggest the world is runned by crazies is crazy sure you might get the odd one who excels or whatever but statecraft hasn't change much in centuries same shit.

I agree it's hardly moral at times nor is it creative. And now we are in a right tizzle with the external problems.

He was pushing his luck when he paid the bail for Micheal X.... definitely pissing off the wrong people.

Excellent artist though
