R.I.P JOHN LENNON
@MrTodd198126 Yeah, I'm not downplaying his musical greatness but he was a depressed, fucked up hypocrite in real life- played like a sucker by that talentless cunt Yoko who was only after fame and money.
Americans have given this man some kind of aura that is superficial and bullshit- he was a human with faults like the rest of us.
Mr. President: Over 4000 peaceful protesters have been arrested. While bankers continue to destroy the American economy. You must stop the assault on our 1st amendment rights. Your silence sends a message that police brutality is acceptable. Banks got bailed out. We got sold out.
"The well-being of mankind, its peace and security are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established."
"There can be no doubt whatever that the peoples of the world, of whatever race or religion, derive their inspiration from one heavenly Source, and are the subjects of one God."
"That which the Lord hath ordained as the sovereign remedy and mightiest instrument for the healing of all the world is the union of all its peoples in one universal Cause, one common Faith."
I wish to redo this song with a photo bed in and all my friends singing this and other John and Yes Yoko ONO songs. Power to the People. The web-olution has arrived.
Some times I listen to this song and Imagine and I can see myself next to Lennon, singing my heart out and then when it's over I cry because I'd give anything to live in a world like the one he imagined.
John is not alive anymore, but his songs are, and they still inspire many people. This song and "Imagine" are my personal favorites, not because of their popularity, but rather for what made it popular in the first place: the message.
On October 9th we will all watch "Imagine" in honor of the greatest singer ever's birthday. Let's give him the best birthday present ever: the highest viewed video on YouTube!! Let's give him what he deserves and what Justin Bieber does not deserve to have!

Today's generation can see right here in this video what 'genius' means in the musical industry. This was a 'statement' that came out of a discussion that turned into a song. Spur of the moment from a man who could write a song on the drop of a dime and make a hit out of it because the song meant something to everyone. Part of the musical 'magic' that I pray will return one day.
@shazzbot007 Politicians do that. And do you honestly think that the US population would like to live in a country at war on their own soil?
Korean people, vietnamese, iraqi, afghani etc, are tired of war. No one wants to live in a war zone. Only a few people benefit from wars: politicians, dictators, companies (oil, weapon production, etc) and maybe a few others.
THIS SONG IS SUCH BULLSHIT.THE LIVING HUMAN DOES NOT WANT PEACE,MAN IS LIKE A KNIFE OR PENCIL,HE NEEDS TO BE SHARP,THE EXPERIENCES THAT SHARPEN HIM ARE NOT PEACEFUL AND TRANQUIL!THINK ABOUT IT....
@onlyjoetee ?? , i think you dont get the point? ,yes its true , people doesnt care about peace , right now , but he , HE WANTED PEACE! , he WANTED A REVOLUTION , and HE WAS RIGHT , because PEACE , PEACE IS THE BEAST THING IN THE WORLD , BETTER THAN WARS , because WARS DESTROY EVERYTHING , BUT PEACE , PEACE FIXES ALL , and the song isnt bullshit , the only bullshit here is your comment =P
@Samadhiatman500 why dont people ever get it.Humans are not on this earth for peace.Everything that you need to know,see,hear,learn etc is on the battlefield.Peace is what the dead people in cemetry have.If your whole life was totally peaceful,you would be dull,weak,stupid,and know and realize absolutely nothing.He who seeks peace,runs from life.Thats what junkies and alcoholics do.Life is on the battlefield not in the peace,death is in peace!!think about it!
Tribute to Nathan Wolkovitz, my dear friend, the young photographer sitting in on that day. You can see him at minute 2:58 clapping away. RIP my dearest friend, Nate.
@MsPebbles2010 This song is from 1969, recorded in a Montreal hotel room(Queen Elizabeth Hotel)and features Tommy Smothers on acoustic guitar. BTW, the room number is 1742(hotel room number)and this song uses four mics and a four-track tape recorder
