  • This recording was the second time, I saw Youri at L'Opera that October day. He had a great crowd. He had no idea who I was. Thanks to his permission to record and distribute the recording on UA-cam, you can see it.
    My greatest regret now? I cannot put Donald J. Trump's name on Youri's lips. Mr. Trump makes either George Bush look like a moderate. Trump's personality and policies make me want to vomit. ....... Jeff Smith, 8/31/2018
    Performance allowed by Youri Menna
    Video Recorded by Jeffrey A. Smith

      The recording is dated in that Youri refers to George Bush. George Bush is tame compared to our current disaster in USA, Donald Trump. I hope he has updated his politics since the recording.

    Sorry, John Lennon
    This is a reply to his song “Imagine”…
    I’m deeply sorry John
    It was never meant to be
    This imaginary world
    You planned for you and me
    They still think there’s a heaven
    But hell on Earth is the reality
    You imagined all the people
    Living for the day
    Sorry John, this can not be
    We still have inequality
    You imagine there are no counties
    No religion to, but sorry to
    Tell you John, we are plagued
    By both there two
    Greed and hunger are both with us
    It never went away, millions have died
    In Africa, since this song you made
    We never had a brotherhood
    But we have the greedy man
    Who kills and plunders all he sees
    In other troubled lands
    You said that you were dreaming
    Of a world you would love to see
    But really sorry to tell you John
    This was just a wonderful
    FANTACY
    Peter the Poet Wicks

      I agree with you on the possessions thought..... although let's say "possessions" for vanity's sake? Greed? Excessive consumption? We need a place to live. Tools. Certainly artworks, family traditions, etc. I'd bet that Lennon could live with that. And by the way, I know he had a few possessions!
