Love and Understanding

Peace + Love = Information

Love + Hate

Does anyone else get violently agitated seeing Yoko Ono standing next to John?

Anyways, Peace and Love Link (new window)

Peace and Love are good, good things but I would also like to add Unity and Having Fun.

Strawberry Fields forever.

Don't know if serious with all the Dimebag pictures. Guy played horribly bland music.

LaughoL, nice tempering of your rage. I don't get that way, but then again, I don't have the hots for her. I understand you're jealous of what her and John had. Get over her dude, she's not interested. She's not even your type, what are you doing?

Rest in peace John, Dimebag, et cetera.

ATTN DIMEBAG:

DON'T BRING THAT WEAK ASS NOISE TO COLUMBUS, OHIO

Vash approves?
Mr. Burns approves?

You have to wonder what music John would be making today; how the post-internet, post-911 era would meet his eye.

I say this every year: I want to visit the alternate world where Mark David Chapman had the .22 and Hinkley had the .44.

With hollow points. If Lennon had just been shot six times in the chest, there's a good chance he would have survived (see: Warhol, Andy), but Champman's gun was loaded with hollow point rounds.

Are you REALLY sure you want to contemplate that?

SnakeMan: Hippie communist trash. Burn in hell, Lennon.

Why don't you tell us how you really think

Every time I hear "Peace and Love" I think of this video:
Link (new window)
(Warning: Ringo)

SnakeMan: Hippie communist trash. Burn in hell, Lennon.

You must be new here. Allow me to welcome you to Fark in the appropriate manner for someone like you:

Know how I know you're a worthless sack of shiat?

Such a shallow and naive song. As if humans wouldn't immediately find other rationalizations for violence if the set of conditions he described were taken away.

So yes, he may not be the only one, but I do say he's a dreamer.

Was Lennon the first repugnant limo liberal?

/give away all your possessions man
//that's you by the way, not me man

I had a friend who was very right-wing Christian who once told me that she was offended by that song, as it was an "ode to hedonism" or something like that.

It was at that point that my faith in humanity as a whole was lost, realizing that a pop song about peace and love could actually piss some people off.

SnakeMan - switch to decaf and go outside. It's a beautiful day.

SnakeMan: Hippie communist trash. Burn in hell, Lennon.

Spoken like a proper Pharisee.

Christ had much more in common with Lennon than with you.

ModernLuddite: It was at that point that my faith in humanity as a whole was lost, realizing that a pop song about peace and love could actually piss some people off.

Never having had much faith in humanity to begin with has some advantages.

It's the whole "no heaven" "no religion" thing, obviously. Might an atheist or two be annoyed if I wrote a pop song about how much better everything would be if nobody questioned God's existence?

Imagine no atheism.
How do you think that'd look?
No Stalin purging millions,
No drunken Hitchen's book.
Imagine all the Fark threads
Filled with troll-less peace.

I'd buy your album...

All we are sayin' - is John was naive...

Would've been nice for people to acutally listen to his songs and try to work things out, but that's just not the world we live in, sadly.

/Big Beatles fan, but solo Lennon/Yoko years - not so much.

jackiepaper:

Imagine no Inquisition
a world with no witch trials
No jihad or crusades
no Falwell spewing bile
Imagine all the fundies
ceasing to exist....

This. One of my fav lennon songs. Such a great message...live in the moment and do what is right because you want to, not cause some big guy in the sky is watching...

//like to sing it around the fundies :)

Just think, If Mark david Chapman had moved the gun a little to
the left he'd be a hero.

You mean if Herbert Walker Bush's plans didn't fall through.

My guess is that my pathetic attempt at songwriting mildly annoyed you in some way. That was my point.

(Although, notice how I never called for atheists to be eradicated, just the philosophical construct we call atheism. So you would have been better off making it "imagine all fundamentalism ceasing to exist".)

A couple of months ago I decided to create my own Beatles "What If..." albums based in a world where they didn't break up or make solo albums.

I arranged them by year (with the obvious gap between 1976-79 because of John's hiatus) and I tried to put on any singles and any collaborations between ex-Beatles (which is why 1973 is very Ringo heavy). I filled out the rest with what I considered the better tracks from their respective albums. As far as album titles I just followed the convention they usually had of naming them after the stronger tracks.

You are naive, that will never happen. Same goes to all you "i'd hit it"'s. That too will never happen, stop repeating it. Can we close Fark while we're at it?
