"Imagine there's no country.
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for,
and no religion too.
Imagine all the people
living life in peace..."
-- John Lennon, "Imagine," Imagine
"He liked Danny Kaye. In June 1975, John had performed on a television show, Salute to Lew Grade. When John showed up with Yoko at the studio, he realized there had been a mistake. They had the wrong Beatle; they had wanted Paul to sing. Everybody in the place was giving him bad vibes and he was giving them back. Then he went onstage and, as he described it later, 'spat "Imagine" at them.' The audience reception was icy. Backstage, the only person who acknowledged him was Danny Kaye, with a big thumbs-up."
-- Robert Rosen, Nowhere Man: The Final Days of John Lennon, p. 88
"I liked their early stuff. They did some good records. But then they got a bit weird. I didn't like all that later stuff when they got strange."
-- George W. Bush on the Beatles
"On November 4, 'Erection Day' -- a pun he could never resist -- as America overwhelmingly banished Jimmy Carter from the White House (John and Yoko had attended his inaugural ball), Lennon speculated that Ronald Reagan would be assassinated and the United States would fall into the malevolent clutches of former CIA director George Bush."
-- Robert Rosen, Nowhere Man, p. 160
"I'm sick and tired of hearing things
from uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics!
All I want is the truth.
Just gimme some truth.
I've had enough of reading things
by neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians!
All I want is the truth.
Just gimme some truth."
-- John Lennon, "Gimme Some Truth," Imagine
