Released in 1971, Imagine has been hailed by many as one of the greatest songs ever written. But it hasn’t been without controversy. Some thought it to be subversive, denouncing religion and nationalism and promoting Marxism or Communism in a phrase from its final verse “imagine no possessions”. I remember that criticism when I was a teenager. Lennon wasn’t appreciated by law enforcement in the U.S. because of his drug use. After his tragic murder, that sort of disappeared. It’s a song that has reached around the world and touched billions. In the age of increasing income inequality, religious wars and political violence, it is sorely needed.
