    He did a story on an album back in the late 70's or early 80's, reminiscing about going into the draft board during the 'Nam days and failing the test, and his dad telling him that was good. That was OK because everyone was against that dumb war. But his political views are just plain stupid.

    Imagine is a John Lennon song. It's not a Beatles song as far as I know. His ideology and that dumb bitch of his is what caused the breakup of the Beatles.

    This crosses into the other thread. If you sing songs, quit trying to be Winston Churchill. Leave the war making to those of us that do it. I leave the poetry to Tyr, right? You don't see us going in there telling him how to write poems (and I actually do know how to). Stick to what you're good at.
