Imagine
Via SN!, here’s John Miller at The Corner, showing once again that wingnuts are the most incurious people on the planet.
Lennonism [John J. Miller]
K Lo: I’m with you on “Imagine” — love the piano, hate the lyrics. A band called A Perfect Circle has a great cover version. The music is bleak and the vocals are subdued. It’s a much-needed deconstruction of the song. It’s like the anti-“Imagine.” I’m not sure the musicians intended it that way, but that’s the result, by my lights. Definitely worth a 99-cent download.
So much for conservatives being philosophically opposed to deconstruction. But seriously. How could someone listen to a cover of “Imagine” — from 2004, no less — and not inquire into the intention behind it? For that matter, if you’re capable of downloading a song from iTunes, you’d presumably be able to find the video as well.
