Imagine: John Lennon As A Reagan Republican

John Lennon fans may be a bit surprised to see an interview in the new documentary, Beatles Stories, with Lennon’s long time friend Fred Seaman. Seaman says that Lennon had moved away from his early radicalism and became a fan of . . . wait for it . . . Ronald Reagan.

By the time of his death in 1980, Seaman say that Lennon was supportive of Ronald Reagan over Jimmy Carter.

Just imagine the following lyrics being used as a call to a Reagan fundraiser:

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

It is enough to put even the most stalwart liberal into a fetal position.
