Commenting after rottsoruck is pointless, but the first thing I thought was, “Now take care of that dog with Wings so we can get us some one-legged eyecandy!”
“Imagine” ends with “and the people will be one”. Yes the Nazis and communists preach the philosophy of “imagine” and the people became one in ransid poverty and war.
Overanalysis on the basis of no data:
Strawberry Fields must be Mr. Lennon’s grave, and this joke presumes that if Mr. Lennon had not been killed that day, he would still be alive today. Well, maybe, but 25 years is a long time, especially for a rock star. There is a fair chance he would be dead by now. Even if he wouldn’t have been dead yet, (do we need Douglas Adams’ time travelers’ tense here?) he would have died someday. There’s a fair chance he would still be buried at Strawberry Fields, and a fair chance it would still say “Imagine”, so there is a (fair)^3 chance that nothing would have changed, except for the date on the plaque, and a (fair)^2 that once the plaque was in place, it would say “Imagine”.
I don’t even know why I care, except the $#@& stole my birthday, so I can confidently predict that the big story on my birthday from now to eternity will be “Mr. Lennon’s XXth birthday”. How would you like that?
Besides, its just some dumb old band. Get over it, people!
Thank god (!) for America!
one of the few places on this planet where you constantly encounter two-legged beings weighing 300 lbs + with the brain capacities of chipmunks.
I think Dennis Leary said it best:
“We live in a world where john lennon takes six bullets to the chest. Yoko Ono is standing right next to him. NOT ONE BULLET!!!! EXPLAIN THAT TO ME GOD!!! PLEASE GOD EXPLAIN IT TO ME NOW!!!!”

Don’t be so hard on the girl, i.e., try to see the bright side of everything: would you rather have a Beatles reunion tour with the sixty-year-old lads playing ‘Back in the USSR’ and not being able to hit the high notes?
Said another way: the Strolling Bones are now a pitiful farce, devoid of anything except a desire for cash.
At least Yoko broke up the band. I thank her!
The plaque would read:
“Thank you, Mark!”
Best. Comment. Ever.
That’s just wrong. Wrong on all levels. But it’s funny, so all is forgiven.
It oughtta read that way anyway…
(damned communist!)

Imagine all the people…
Who really don’t care.
“Imagine” ends with “and the people will be one”. Yes the Nazis and communists preach the philosophy of “imagine” and the people became one in ransid poverty and war.
One of the best bumperstickers I ever saw said “Still Hating Yoko.”
You’re dark today, Larry. Bitter that Sarah K got to Frank before you?
Jack:
Wanna make Laurence dark? Call him that ‘L word’ you called him, that makes him darker.

There is no way that Yoko weighs anywhere near 300 lbs.
