    Imagine Live - John Lennon - 72

     

    It absolutely does not seem possible that it has been twenty eight years.

    Imagine, indeed!

    My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.

    You have to be a bastard to make it, and that's a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.

    The more I see the less I know for sure.

    I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.
