Two horrific injustices are upon us. One, a television producer is going to broadcast a séance that attempts to
contact the spirit of John Lennon. Two, the Lennon pay-per-view program is five dollars less than it was for Princess Diana. Either way, it just ain’t right.
“People say this is disgusting and I accept that criticism,” said the head of the production company (I don’t even want to use his name), “but we’re making a serious attempt to do something that many, many millions of people around the world think is possible.”
Pul-leeze! What he’s really saying is that, yeah, it is disgusting but it’s okay because he will make a fortune out of a tasteless and truly crummy idea that plays off the gullibility of dim-witted people.
For those not content with Lennon’s prolific production prior to his death, one gimmick on the broadcast is a “spirit reader” who will “receive musical notes and lyrics” and pass them along to an LA studio where the notes will be arranged, words recorded, background music applied and “a new song” produced. Perhaps they will call it Imagine All The Suckers.
