There was a large rally on Saturday night for the pie-in-the-sky set of the American public who long for government interference in every aspect of their life and increased taxes on anyone but themselves.

“The People’s Summit” held in Chicago on Saturday night apparently kicked off with The Beatles’ song “Revolution.” A laughable idea to anyone who knows how to read or listen to lyrics.

The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel pointed out the obvious flaw with playing a song like “Revolution” at a rally for people who long for it.

One can only assume no one in that crowd is turning off Muse long enough to listen to a later Beatles’ album.

In case a refresher on the lyrics is needed, the 1968 song advocates for skepticism of Sanders’ brand of fiery dissent that leads to catastrophic revolutions.

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
All right, all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
All right, all right, all right

You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
All right, all right, all right

Add to that the sentiment of a song like “Taxman” and I’d be hard pressed to find a fellow feeling between those attending Sanders’ Peoples Summit and John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Of course, only Paul and Ringo can speak to their thoughts on the matter these days.
