Brilliant Pop

Reviewed on April 24th, 2004
If you want the essence of solo Lennon, but are on a budget, perhaps the best way to do this is by buying his PLASTIC ONO BAND ALBUM along with IMAGINE. Anyway, you really don't need me to tell you what a great album IMAGINE is, so let's leave it at this: With Presidential election time coming this November, we are either going to elect a Republican -- that is, a platitudinarian and clandestine shill for the rich, special interests and mega-corporations -- or a Democrat -- that is, a platitudinarian and clandestine shill for the rich, special interests and mega-corporations. Bearing that in mind, here's my favorite verse from my favorite song on IMAGINE, "Gimme Some Truth": "No short-haired, yellow-bellied
Son of tricky dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope. . ."
