the fact is this ,hes was just speaking his mind in music,if the leaders ,white collars werent so greedy,distroying wot and who we are the likes of lennon wouldnt of been standing up for us..to hell with the top nobs ..we got the hold ,if we all stoodup for it.
The reason lennons music was played back then was because it was popular with america. No one could tell them to not do something the beatles were #1, now a days you'll find maybe one good pop song about a revolution but barely.
This song is more relevent today than when it was originally written. The irony though is that today's generaton doesn't even care. I bet this song wouldn't even get that much attention if were released today.
All the little babies love Lennon. My folks made damn sure of it. And, when the time comes we'll carry that torch until the day when all is one, when none can deny it. The old way is getting older. All they did was give the new way it's martyr-hero-prince. No one can kill what lives in us.
hey folks there is an online petition to keep lennons killer in prison for life. he comes up for parole in october 08 lets make sure he doesnt get it he deserves to rot in prison. its a shame that film makers are making movies about him thats the reason these nut cases do what they do. the petition is on youtube its posted by someone named beatleologist. it only takes a couple of minutes please sign.
rubbish !! john lennon would never sign this stupid petition. ..."beatleologist" should stop asking for violence and brutal thoughts. use your power to create positiv inspiring productiv things and not for destructive firestarting. learn to love. forgive. join the human race.

dear sir: your excursion is honorable indeed. although, i would like the person that stole my childhood paroled. my reason is pure selfishness on my part. for if he sees the light of freedom, someone(hopefully myself), would find him and give him the justice he deserves. good luck in you endeavor, i am behind you.
lennons ideals were human ones. he just spoke up about them.people such as he have existed in one form or another since human beings had the rational to lead or be led. jesus said "be shephards of my sheep"
I love this song...and John Lennon. He is a musical genius and one of the greatest activists of our time. He was a man who used his talent and would make a stand no matter how much he was ridiculed or threatened. Everything he said about Nixon and our involvement in the Vietnam war was true. I wish he was still alive today. Where are the voices that we had in the 60's and 70's?
We miss you, John
RIP
You will live forever in our hearts and in your music
Music like Lennon's would never be allowed on the air in republican Amerikkka. Back in Lennon's day we our leaders were liberals who believed in free speech. Today, our airwaves are ruled by corporatists, also known as facists, whose only interests are mind control and profits.
That's not correct. There were plenty of "leaders" who didn't believe in free speech back in his day. And it didn't matter on what side of the aisle they were on, whether they were Republican or Democrat. Come on man, read your history.
A sign of today is how fast they shut up the dixie chicks. They attempted but did not succeed with Lennon! I guess the Chicks were worried more about their millions than they were about the truth! No one with the ability to be heard today has near the spine Lennon had! LUV YA JOHN AND THANK YOU!
lennonlvr. well said we need men like lennon who spoke up and feared no one he took a stand and damn the consequences. these cowards now a days only care about themselves and their money. the stars today should be ashamed of themselves they have the power an means to get the message out and fear and ignorance bind them
okay so thousands and thousands of respects to John Lennon.....but actually i enjoy listening to any music i am a Hispanic guy and i listen to any music...i am from mexico
there is this band called JAGUARES they made a cover to this song in Spanish and in English
Man if this song came out today, it probably wouldn't even get that much radio play. Nobody cares anymore. What happened to the passion that fueld the 60s and 70s? Today's generation has no soul and listens to whatever the media tells them.
Yeah, but the generation of the 60s that beleived in what your talking about is the ones who turned into hypocrites and turned the world into what it it today with it's heartless society and major corporations not to mention the generation that voted for Bush. Everyone I know from that generation including my parents only cares about money.
Today's generation has plenty of passion, just listen to a few songs by Against Me! like Baby I'm an Anarchist, or Miami. John Lennon would love songs like those.
Where is the anger these days? Like sheep we sit there and let the politicans mother hubbard soft soap us all. The day Lennon was assasinated was the day we were doomed.
Dammit! we have to get someone to make a video criticizing obbma and his big helpers, before someone like "obbma" uses it. It match's perfectly. "With just a pocket full of hope". "Hope" thats obbmas stupid campaign saying. Anyone can talk but can he actually take action? The stupid idiot wants to go into pakistan (another war??). How are people so fucking blind. There just abunch of followers. Opera exchanging cash for votes. What the fuck did this idiot do. His a fucking racist. Go Hillary.
I dont understand why the Beatles broke up only to continue playing on each others tracks anyway. George did lead guitar on everyone of John's imagine album and Ringo continued to play with George on his all things must pass album (and others) and he played on a lot of Pauls songs too. So why did they break up? B the time of the White ALbum they had already grown apart a lot but it seemed to be working enough to go on with another three albums. John even wrote Jealous Guy and Imagine in 1968.
maybe John wanted to express his own opinions more, while when he was with The Beatles, it was more of the whole group's ideas. Control. New things. Yoko...? lol
its part of life....we are all that amazing,if we could just tap tha part of who we are...and its not like he went to nothing,i dont know why people are still sad about his death...its part of the cycle,natural or not....all you can do is build from it,dwelling on it gets us no where
"The state of Israel must Invent dangers, and to do this it must adopt the methods of Provocation and revenge.... And above all, let us Hope for a new war with the Arab countries so that we may finally get Rid of our troubles and Acquire our space."
-- From the diary of Moshe Sharett, Israeli's first Foreign Minister from 1948-1956, and Prime Minister from 1954-1956
back in 88 guns n' roses did a cover of this at a few of their shows and it was the greatest cover ive ever heard, im sure there's a bootleg kicking around
Too bad nobody in politics ever listens to this song. If only one politico would come out and tell it exactly how it is, but you never get those as they are all paranoid.
god this song ROCKS!!!! one of his best. that's why always buy the original cd's not the 'greatest hits'. they don't have treasures like this!! the words speak to me more than the music sometimes
One of John's best solo efforts.

he's already forgiven chapman because he doesn't need to forgive him.
no petition is gonna keep chapman in prison.
it's the system that keeps him there.
that's like signing a petition to bring john back. i concur with bartsimpsoninthesky
