read this on Lennon last week and went "yup"


"In 1967, John Lennon wrote a song called, ?All You Need is Love.? He also beat both of his wives, abandoned one of his children, verbally abused his gay Jewish manager with homophobic and anti-semitic slurs, and once had a camera crew film him lying naked in his bed for an entire day.


Thirty-five years later, Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails wrote a song called ?Love is Not Enough.? Reznor, despite being famous for his shocking stage performances and his grotesque and disturbing videos, got clean from all drugs and alcohol, married one woman, had two children with her, and then cancelled entire albums and tours so that he could stay home and be a good husband and father.


One of these two men had a clear and realistic understanding of love. One of them did not. One of these men idealized love as the solution to all of his problems. One of them did not. One of these men was probably a narcissistic asshole. One of them was not."

Quite a lot...


The thread is about Bands and artists being overrated, not about their personal lives.


I would suspect the personal lives of many Bands / Artists are likely to be just as colourful.

Imagine is a nice song, well done. Not a great song, but clearly many hold it to be so.

Greatness is a rare commodity in his solo output and so much of it is just awful, also true of McCartney (more bland than awful, though he also has more good stuff than lennon managed imo), whereas as they achieved it together with unparalleled regularity.

Your knowledge of the county knows no bounds.

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



If this was reality instead of just lyrics, the world wouldn't be such a s**thole.


Don't knock one of the most meaningful songs of all time.

To some people, maybe. To me, it doesn't really say any more than a beauty pageant contestant hoping for world peace. Just becuase you agree with it, doesn't make it insightful.

The whole concept of the song is in it's title..


Imagine


I feel Lennon would of been fully aware such a thing was probably unachievable.


There are many things that are seemingly unachievable...


Dose not mean we shouldn't try. Does not mean we cannot dream.

    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
