Imagine there's no heavenIt's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
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...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one....."
A while back someone said to me that he thought the John Lennon song Imagine had been censored from the British airwaves, as he didn't seem to have heard it recently. So just in case this is true, here's some of the lyrics !
In these bellicose times, I have to say that Michael Hastings article on "The Runaway General" in the edition of "Rolling Stone" magazine out tomorrow - but available for download today - makes a very interesting, as well as entertaining, read.
However, although its opening lines seem to support Stanley McChrystal's bravado style, by the end one is left with the impression that the General is probably best out of the way, for reasons other than his criticism of "The Wimps in the White House".
The good news is that the winner in this particular war is undoubtedly "Rolling Stone": a testimony to the enduring power of its genre of writing on music, politics and popular culture.
