A sick video by a sick individual.
But he sure could write songs when he was young..later..not so much.

I don't know why you think it is sick. It is very effective in making it's point. What is sick is war.

Lennon was a screwed up but talented cat, hard for to forgive his women beating.

John Lennon has been dead since 1980. Do you really think he had anything to do with making the video?

The video was recut, and the song itself remastered, for the 2003 DVD Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon. The 2003 video is composed of documentary footage, mostly depicting children, from the Vietnam War, in addition to recent scenes from various conflicts in the Horn of Africa, the Bosnian War, the 11 September 2001 attack on New York City, and the US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The video will need to be updated again pretty soon. It needs to be updated for the US proxy wars in Syria and Ukraine as well as the new Iraq war and the slaughter in Gaza.
