Yep see that film. I think by the end of the 70's Lennon was much more politically educated than he was when he wrote songs like Revolution and Imagine - even he would probably have found them a little bit politically naive, however well meaning.

well, it most certainly does not need to be true to believe in it  |

It's not the most interesting or stimulating of songs to listen to more than once a year or so. It's a simple song, with a simple message |

It speaks volumes—and not well—about us that there was a faction that did not want this played after 9/11. What a beautiful song.

Nothing that a Frank Zappa guitar solo couldn't improve.

This is one of the few songs that makes my cry. Why? Emotionally the ideals are so appealing, but rationally I believe humanity is incapabable of those ideals because of what we are and what has made us so successful as a species. Our soul and our self awareness are a blessing and a curse.
