Even as he’s responding to a dead man, trashing one of his most popular works ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS ASSASSINATION, and even as he’s in control of everything, even going so far as to imply he’s burning in Hell (something that Shapiro, who is Jewish, should not even believe in), Ben Shapiro still somehow manages to get owned by the singer-songwriter who was killed before he was even born. Hell, the shitty audio mixing makes it even funnier, because it’s almost like this scene from Casablanca, except if Strasser and his men managed to do it to themselves without even noticing, and Rick and company didn’t even have to do anything.
Something like that really helps to restore your faith in this song, even as the world goes totally FUBAR and you start to think the evil plan from Kingsman (with the killer app) might actually be the best thing we can do to help the world.
Apparently, when John was stressing about the costs of running his music empire, Neil Aspinall quoted “imagine no possessions,” and John said the exact Same bloody thing. And that time, they actually asked the person who wrote the bloody song!

Puts me in mind of the time McCartney was asked, ‘Do you really think that love is all you need?’ His answer: ‘It’s just a bloody song’.
