Today is anniversary of the death of John Lennon, one of the world’s most gifted songwriters, who was senselessly killed in 1980.
While Lennon wrote countless classics, the song he will always be most associated with it “Imagine.” While Fox News would probably say that “Imagine” advocates godlessness and lawlessness were it to come out today, it’s amazing how such a philosophical, yet essentially simple song has engaged the planet for the last 40 years.
A recent episode of the hit show Glee ended with a performance of “Imagine,” in which a school of deaf students taught the kids of Glee the true meaning of togetherness.
What’s your take on “Imagine?” Is it truly Lennon’s best work?
Let us know.
