Re: interesting, veeeeeeeeeeery interesting

I don't think its even a case of liking something like Give Peace a Chance. Its simply communicated at a level beyond just being a song as did the Lennon-Ono's "events" such as the bed-in or the bag-in. On one level puerile stunts. But puerile stunts that were broadcast around at least half the world and that stood on the TV news next to footage of children burning from Napalm.....
I don't think Lennon cared whether or not it was going to be considered art. He was concerned with getting it considered news.
I think you can make a good case for Jane Asher introducing Paul into a certain circle especially in London.
I'll get back to you with details... its a stinky hot night and I think my sea-food was funny, if you know what I mean and I might not manage too long at the keyboard.
I have never really heard Dylan refered to as political after he wet electric. That was really a part of his "protest" days.
If you want political combined with musical try Billy Bragg or... oh hang on, time to go somewhere else...
