I don't know why I never noticed John Lennon's solo career besides his days with the Beatles but it is something I need to get into ASAP. I feel half of the reason is listening to Imagine over and over and This is Christmas (look what have you done) (which by the way this and Trans Siberian Orchestra - Christmas in Sarajevo are the only two Christmas songs I can tolerate)
What brought me to John Lennon today is like how all my musical discoveries happen through my magical Winamp. I have David Bowie's discography and I didn't realize that he also has a version of "Working Class hero". David Bowie's version is OK but Greenday's version is on point and I love the nod that they give to John's version in the end when they let John finish "If you want to be a hero than just follow me"
Working Class Hero is an amazing song that if you have ears, heart and a functioning brain than you can feel how relevant the song is still.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,Celebrity scandals, baseball players taking steroids, what is new in fashion shit that should be on the news less than 10 minutes and just report about stuff that matters like real people and their problems.
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
