Imagine...

Banning John Lennons classic tune Imagine from being performed at an end of term show.

How screwed up is that?

Imagine conveys a message that calls for unity amongst people of all creeds and colours on earth.

Isn't that what Jesus would be preaching if he was around these days?

Personally, I've always thought Imagine is kind of like the musical equivalent of an Athena poster.

PC gone mad though, I agree.

Personally, I've always thought JL was a dickhead (and PMcC), so it's no skin off my nose. Looks like some politician also thought him a bit of a wally.

Personally I'm not big on Imagine. Nice sentiment and all that but I find the whole notion of John Lennon preaching to the masses a bit sickening really. It's all false. Don't mind the song but he's no hero of mine...just a man that sold out and jumped on a new bandwagon.

As for the message of the song being what Jesus would be preaching today...possibly but... Jesus would be a nobody today, no-one would give a shit what he had to say. He'd be considered a quack and imprisioned most probably!
