Wow. All these comments are pretty negative! Oh, wait. Except for the Apple one. Of course.

I disagree a bit. It does say "imagine" all these things. I don't believe he is advocating for communism so much as saying that when you deal with other people and argue about, say, religion, or possessions, then think about a world without them and treat people that way. I think it strives for a better understanding of people in different situations. At least, that's the way I like to interpret it.

All this reminds me of the WKRP episode dealing with a religious leader attempting to censor the station's programming. They used this song in it.

One more note - it is funny that performers wish to exclude the "no religion" line. I mean, I see where they are coming from, but considering religion has, throughout history, been a huge source of conflict in the world, it would be totally wrong to exclude it. Good for you, Yoko!

as a much younger person than I am now, I came into possession of some of the early prints of the Ian Fleming Bond novels and instantly fell in love.

They just don't excite me the way the novels did.

Also, I wonder, if the ~750,000 Butcher Covers weren't mostly destroyed, would they still be worth as much as they are now?

Apparently there were still stone age barbers "in real life"
