SEPTEMBER 9, 1971: LENNON RELEASES IMAGINE
Lennon\’s classic solo album contained much socio-political vitriol with songs like \”Gimme Some Truth\”, \”I Don\’t Want to Be a Solider, Mama\” and \”Imagine\”, which Lennon summed up as \”anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, anti-conventional, anti-capitalistic song, but because it\’s sugar-coated, it\’s accepted\”.
