Imagine there's no heaven
It'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
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
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 live as one

when you see the entire text of this interview, lennon was saying that they are more known to more people in their day than jesus was in his day...that's all...but religious zealots in this country took it out of context and started actually burning beatles records...morons

John Lennon, and The Beatles, rock. Religion is a crock, and John knew that, even before todays muslims are showing religion for the nonsense that it is.

At that point in time they were more popular. Kids would much rather see the Beatles than go to church. The Beatles changed everything; music, fashion, attitudes. You had to be there, I guess, it was an incredibly exciting time. This quote was really bad for them when it happened. Emotions were running so high, the backlash was fierce. I wish I had some of the records and memorabilia that was burned then. I could retire.

Jesus never had a number one record. He said they were more popular than Jesus not more important or better than Jesus. He later said if he had said Television was more popular than Jesus he would have gotten away with it.

I'm so happy to see that the majority of you understand what John really meant to say. He was completely peaceful and full of wisdom. Rest his soul!

Dear Perk740: I admire you for being so callously asinine and self-righteous. Quickly now, go to your god before he fades away.
