Jimmy Carter's funeral not only defiled Christianity with John Lennon's "Imagine", but also Pete Hegseth's symbol of white nationalism with the coffin

 

Yeah, imagine that Jimmy Carter taught "imagine there's no religion" to his Sunday School Class for most of his adult life

 The most cringe-worthy thing I've seen in a veritable sea of cringe-worthy in a long while.

Cassius Clay, black Narcissus who suffered from John Lennon disease, can't dodge the last punch like he did the draft: Dead at 74

"I'm the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren't no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn't know about them."

The religion of pieces strikes again but the French remain in utter denial

In front of the theatre attacked in Paris last night, a piano is set out front on which a man comes up and plays "Imagine", John Lennon's ode to atheism, and leaves. A French soccer star who lost a cousin to the terrorists tweets that the important thing to maintain is that the horror in Paris last night "has no religion". And a rose and note are stuck in a bullet hole made by the Muslim terrorists asking "In the name of what?"

In the name of Allah, of course.

For a god who doesn't exist an awful lot of French people no longer do, either. Atheism, at any cost.

John Lennon's biggest hit 'Imagine' is tosh

So says Paul Handley for the UK Guardian here, in defense of a New Year's Eve performance of the song which has outraged many who heard it because the performer altered the lyrics.

He's right. The song is a gooey mess, the sentimentality of which mocks the lyrics. But hasn't nonsense been the whole point of rock 'n roll from the beginning? 

That many people take this music too seriously isn't just evidence of a new belief which has taken the place of an old one. The new one is now an orthodoxy whose reactionaries can't abide messing with its sacred, atheocratic text.

Give Yoko Ono some of the credit for this. After all it was she who called Paul McCartney's songs all June, spoon and moon.

She ought to know.
