Imagine

What an awesome song.
Here is Neil Young singing it, for the 9/11 tribute:


I'm so happy he kept the "And no religion too". It's a bit odd though, seeing how this was probably the height of american nationalism and religiosity in the past 40 years. Three thousand people die, and Neil Young is asking them to imagine there is no heaven, no religion. But the wonderful thing is that if there is no religion, and no belief in heaven, and nothing to kill or die for, well. . .none of this would have happened. It's amazing how many people love this song without knowing what it even means, or outright ignoring what it means. 3000 people die, and people start playing an anti-religion song on the radio...pretty cool.

Maybe rock and roll will survive Jesus.
