It is a terrible dirge with the quality of lyrics that a 14 year old should be embarassed to submit as english homework (if homework is allowed anymore.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-1153857149230364772006-07-25T20:52:00.000+01:002006-07-25T20:52:00.000+01:00"Imagine" is the worst kind of "we're all going th..."Imagine" is the worst kind of "we're all going the same way" lazy-minded tosh & its choice probably represents the deplorable taste & religious illiteracy of some one on the school staff rather than any original preference by the children, who deserve better. (cf another song "let me take you by the hand in defiance of our school's Touching Policy, and I will show you the streets of London" - appalling!)

It's almost refreshing to hear of someone shouting the odds in defence of (what used to be) this country's religion of the majority. (I know "Imagine" doesn't specifically invalidate Christianity, but those who object to it are apparently Christians and objecting on that basis.) Maybe there's a kind of "If they can do it, so can we" attitude going on. Plenty of other issues wind me up far, far more than this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
