Re: Imagine

Lennon had a green card and was eligible to become a U.S. Citizen in 1981, just a few short months before he was murdered.

Nevertheless, Lennon incurred the ire of the Nixon administration for his anti-war activities -- a war that Great Britain had almost no involvement in. Nixon's people had many files on Lennon. To me, the sum total of all of it, including that he was trying to gain citizenship at the time of his assassination, makes Lennon an American.

the doc shows just how bad the nixon administration wanted to get lennon. it's crazy to think that the govt spent SO much time and money on it. as if he was public enemy #1.
