The song 'Imagine' is THE bourgeois idealist theme song, reality is a very different tune.
:vote: :LIB: do some hot yoga, poor a glass of char and fire up We the People on Netflix and sing along
It also has a
nicehorrid yin/yang thing going with Revolution, which is the absolute smuggest, most disdainful piece of enlightened centrist garbage ever put to vinyl. Fuck John Lennon, all my homies hate John Lennon
They sucked as people (yes except Harrison he did a lot of good), but damn me if they didn’t make so much amazing music.
Paul Mccartney was always the best Beatle don't @ me
The Concert for Bangladesh was a big deal. Incidentally, the IRS froze a bunch of the money raised for a decade over failure to register the event with UNICEF in a timely manner. Harrison also endorsed Greenpeace and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
The cheating sucked. But I'm hard pressed to get too mad at a guy like Harrison being hostile towards paying taxes to a government like Nixon's.
No doubt, what better way to seal his legacy as a counter-revolutionary martyr?
The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society
Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)
Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One
One of the best three album sequences right there
Edit: Muswell Hillbillies is phenomenal as well.
Non-boomers really don't. The Beatles were liberal-as-fuck celebrities who spent their entire adult lives in the music industry. I don't really expect them to be the Vanguard of political change.
But Lennon getting domed just kinda prevented him from becoming another Bono or Sean Penn. After the civil rights assassinations of the 60s and 70s, his death was almost an afterthought.
