It’s was 25 years ago today

"Imagine there’s no countries,
It isn’t hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace…"

Time can fog things. Many back then hated Lennon because of his outspoken political views. The FBI monitored him and wanted him deported. Politicians attacked him. And he kept speaking out. Rebel with a cause.

    This is a very good lost interview from 1971, focusing on Lennon’s politics.
