Below is illustrated how John Lennon incorporated Marxist and communist ideologies into his music, in the famous single, Imagine. 1-Imagine that there was no heaven, it's easy if you try 2-No hell below us, above us only sky 3-Imagine all the people living for Today 4-Imagine there are no countries 5-It isn't hard to, nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too Imagine all the people living in peace, Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can, no need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of Man 6-Imagine all the people sharing all the world. You may say that I am a dreamer, but I'm not the only one 7-I hope some day you'll join us when the world be as one.
Musicians have always exploited Music as a means of propagating political ideas. Political ideologies are ingeniously diffused without the listener having to confirm affiliation. John Lennon was recognised as much as a 'thinker' as he was a musician. He was hailed by many, and still is, as a proponent of Democracy.
squirrel nut zippers own 'exploited music as a means of propagating political ideas'. Lol.. you sound like thats a bad thing... that's what makes music what it is... you can say what you wanna say... punk rock wouldnt have ever existed if it werent for that.
