A thought I can't escape recently: You know how people thought for a while that John Lennon singing “If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao/you ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow” was just a boomer punching left? Maybe he was giving good advice about how to run a movement.

Also of note: On the album version, he sings, "But when you talk about destruction,/ Don't you know that you can count me out" then slyly adds "In!" So basically, John Lennon was a land of contrasts,
