And "Proud to be an American," which many people seem to think is our national anthem, deserving of standing while it's playing, hat removal, etc. Ugh.
CC-- why wasn't my comment about this song in that previous posting? Was it somewhere else? I guess I'll have to say it again:
Us boomers like "Imagine" because of the rather delicious joke that it's a popular song that is also essentially the Communist Manifesto! I don't like it much as a song either. And I like possessions.
Because of a recent ton of spam and weird insulting comments from a brand-new poster, I'm putting in comment moderation for a bit. I'm planning to do comment moderation "Ms. Kitty Style," as in, with a very light touch and kicking only off-topic and unreasonably insulting posts.
Ha you are so right. I often tease my 14 year old for her love of Imagine and my ex g/f for downloading Jesus Take the Wheel using my itunes account.
ReplyDeleteNeither of them appreciate my insults

I don't know where another comment would have gone, Kim. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteI will say that if your entire generation shared your sense of irony, I probably wouldn't mind the song so much.
