John Lennon: Imagine

LP Record Imagine was inspired by a Yoko Ono poem from her 1964 book, Grapefruit. In the book, Cloud Piece reads: "Imagine the clouds dripping, dig a hole in your garden to put them in." Lennon later said: "Imagine should be credited to Lennon/Ono. A lot of it – the lyric and the concept – came from Yoko. But in those days I was a bit more selfish, a bit more macho. I sort of omitted to mention her contribution, but the idea came from Grapefruit." Imagine is the essence of Lennon and Ono's philosophy at a crucial point in their lives, as the newlyweds sought to communicate their worldview to the world around them.
