At the time it was all very real (US versus Lennon)Lovely Lennon song... That would be marvelous...since lovenatalya called it a "Lovely Lennon song," it seems that lovenatalya is admitting that he/she exaggerated and oversimplifiedCalling it either John Lennon's or Yoko Ono's alone is an exaggeration and oversimplification. While it was true that John Lennon got his inspiration of the song and most of the lyrics from Yoko Ono's Grapefruit, he composed the music, played and sang the song, and both of them produced the song.
Striking Syria is a grave error.

The F.B.I.’s surveillance of Lennon is a reminder of how easily domestic spying can become unmoored from any legitimate law enforcement purpose. What is more surprising, and ultimately more unsettling, is the degree to which the surveillance turns out to have been intertwined with electoral politics. At the time of the John Sinclair rally, there was talk that Lennon would join a national concert tour aimed at encouraging young people to get involved in politics — and at defeating President Nixon, who was running for re-election. There were plans to end the tour with a huge rally at the Republican National Convention.
And as we all know, Richard Milhouse Nixon was no stranger to peeping into other people's bizness.
