Kan du huske den junidag i 1967, da Beatles blev satellittransmitteret til det meste af verden – 26 lande og 400 millioner tv-seere (hvis ellers den slags målinger kan tages på pålydende…) ? Dengang kunne man synge en sang med et enkelt budskab. Alt, hvad du behøver er kærlighed. Kunne man tænke sig det samme sket i dag? Hm.
Ganske vist var det ikke juleaften eller bare jul dengang. Men jeg følte det, som om det var jul midt om sommeren, medens John Lennon sang med tyggegummiet i munden:

“Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It’s easy.
There’s nothing you can make that can’t be made.
No one you can save that can’t be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
It’s easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known.
Nothing you can see that isn’t shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.
It’s easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
