I read this earlier today, had a good laugh as well. No harm no foul.

Yeah, what a phony.

love frank turner, but "imagine" is one of my favorite songs of all time. every succesful musician/artist is a hypocrite about their capitalistic tendencies. get over it

Important quote at the end just in case anyone gets carried away:

Quote:

I know a lot of people like the song, and at the end of the day, that’s none of my business anyway. Good luck to them.

Anyway, he makes a decent (ish) point, but I wish he hadn't brought up Crass. There are much better punk examples he could have used.

Yep. But they are also one of the best bands to ever exist.

Nail on the head.

AP should do more stuff like this

I've always thought Lenon was a hypocrit, sure everyone is on some level, we're human, but it did seem like he was one on a larger public scale.....and honestly Imagine is a boring song, I'm not too fond of Happy Xmas(a very cynical song that ppl seem to misinterpret as sincere) and its miles better than Imagine, I still love the Beatles tho.

George Harrison all day every day. Had the best Beatle songs and the best solo material.

Wait, this many people hate The Beatles?

Man, what a shame.

That said I'll agree with the consensus here that Harrison was the best Beatle. 'What is Life' is in my top 10 songs of all time.

yes, listen to phil ochs instead. definitely.

yeah, this guy is a complete asshole.
