I've been a huge Tool fan since they first came out thanks to my hubby, however, I am not familiar with "A Perfect Circle". Perhaps a band I should recomend to hubby? I can respect the refrences to "The Cure" and "Ozzy" but I personally found the remake boring. It reminded me of a number of Morrissy/Smiths songs mixed into one (and I loved him/them). I was a little "hippie baby" and so I grew up listening to the Beatles and John Lennon.
I'd venture to say that anyone who pisses on Lennon's music was either "there" and disagreed with his message/didn't like the music, or is too young and a newcomer to his music to understand the meaning in context. "Imagine" is a classic (and I'm glad to say I have the album) and, IMHO, one of the best as far as social/humanistic messages go since the inception of R&R.
Lennon rules, although I've never been big on Yoko (argument for the ages!), John's love for her and vice/versa is evident in the video for "Imagine". I'm always glad to see bands pay homage to him and his music, it's a tribute to the man and his messages!
