This song came up today in the iTunes. John Lennon had many memorable songs, but a few chestnuts are hidden away in his sub-par albums of the 1970's, including Sometime In New York City, issued in 1972 during Lennon's political phase. Great album cover, by the way.

At the time, Lennon was being harassed by the U.S. government which was trying to deport him back to England because of his political activism. We could sure use that activism today, and frankly we could use Lennon today as well. Along with songs like this. A very pleasant folk song that combines both melody, fun strumming and angry lyrics which could easily apply in today's world, where the same brutal policies are being inflicted all around the world, although by different people, of course.
