Sam Kinison has my vote for most real prophet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDhAIjF0wQIWhat a contrast between Sam and Gordon !!!!
The song Imagine has special significance for me. I was a kid when it came out. My mom's TBM family kept her head pumped clear full of CLeon Skousen type MORmON propaganda, so *naturally* they Hated the Beatles..... because the long haired Beatles were OBVIOUSLY hippies, and good MORmONS hated ( HATE! HATE! HATED!!! ) hippies.
In reality, as a MORmON woman, my poor mother had NEVER been taught how to actually THINK about anything, only to parrot MORmON ideals, just as this story demonstrates.
The song lyrics makes mention of having no possessions.
I thought that would really set off the profit mongering capitalistic oriented MORmONS, AS IF our stuck on the tread mill MORmON family had any chance at all of ever joining the ranks of the real capitalist (elitist pig) MORmONS that my family dutifully paid tithing to in the name of MORmON Jesus.
My MORmON mom could not wait that far into the song to pee her pants and spout off in objection. When the lyrics made a crack about no religion, thats when my Mom had to spout off just as her Skousen implanted ethics dictated.
I knew that MORmONISM did not even register as part of the religious bulwark that Lenon was objecting to, and most of all that MORmONISM itself objected to the bulwark of traditional Christianity and other religions that it considered to be blatantly and patently false, as they were part of Satan's great plan to keep the worlds population distracted away from Gods true religion which was MORmONISM ! I objected to my mom's objection by saying "But mom, we are MORmONS, we generally hate/ object to religion
(all the other false religions, which is the bulk vast majority of religion) too! just like the song says!!!
My observation was not well received, but I still think it was basically correct.
