Peter Cook had a great conspiracy theory yesterday:
“John Lennon did not write ‘Imagine.’
I think Yoko did, and that’s why it is so terrible.”
The day after Paris was attacked, a man rode up with a piano and began playing “Imagine” to a crowd of mourners.
People really enjoyed this.
Then Coldplay did a cover of the song.
There are so many problems with “Imagine” on a good day — the lyrics are embarrassingly juvenile as well as godless and communistic.
But for the aftermath of an attack that hit people at soccer stadiums, restaurants and music venues, I’m not sure even the lyrics “Imagine all the people/Living for today” work.
I mean, enjoying the evening was precisely what the murder victims in Paris were doing at the moment they were gunned down by murderous Islamist radicals.
Simply pick a better song that doesn’t make you seem like you are literally at Chris Martin levels of maturity.
And remember these idiotic lyrics:
"...Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace..."
