Take a look back at Rolling Stone magazine - heck, I don't know the exact date, but read the review on Lennon's "Imagine" song.

In it, there's a quote either directly from Lennon or the magazine that says "Imagine" was "like the Communist Manifesto in [musical form]."

I must make an exception to the recent punk rock post.

I totally flat-out forgot about Joey Ramone.

He was an AVID stock market-Wall Street investor. He was as capitalist as they come, according to a few items I've read.

It's not my intention to purposely generalize, but for the most part, a lot of bands take advantage of one system while lyrically beating it to death.

It's like George Soros & Michael Moore...they're WEALTHY capitalists preaching SOCIALISM.

Something's not right...and I'm going to call people, fans, bands, etc. out on this stuff...so be prepared.

No, communism is about a group of politicos rising to the top of power and control in the name of the "common good". Read Animal Farm.
