  1. what is the point of honorable mentions if you don’t put a small caption at least saying what people think it means and what it really means?

  2. Imagine is such a terrible song with a terrible message. It boggles my mind that it’s so beloved…(But then again, there’s a ton of idiotic people so…)

  3. well, “isn’t it ironic” for Lennon that the Communist Manifesto was murderous dictators, Stalin and Chairman Mao’s, Bible…
    … you could say communism was their “religion”.
