Reply #122: God Part II was actually written in DEFENSE of John Lennon...

[AntiCoup2K4]

When a right wing PIG named Albert Goldman wrote a piece of shit "biography" about John.

Don’t believe the devil
I don’t believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up

<snip>

Don’t believe in goldman
His type like a curse
Instant karma’s going to get him
If I don’t get him first
Don’t believe in rock ’n roll
Can really change the world
As it spins in revolution, spirals and turns
I...i believe in love

<snip>

Yeah, sure he's bashing John Lennon :eyes:

However, he does add.....

Don’t believe in the 60’s,
The golden age of pop
You glorify the past
When the future dries up

Here he's saying essentially what he said in the article above. Sure they were great songs with great lyrics, and they represent some great values (at least in some cases, like Lennon, Dylan, etc.)

But listening to songs isn't going to change the fucking world. Taking Action is what's going to change the world. And nobody in their right mind could accuse Bono of not taking action.
