I'm firmly against changing lyrics to songs, especially "serious" songs into which some thought obviously went. I mean, an ad-lib here or there is fine, but changing the lyrics -- even a few words -- to suit your own agenda is just morally and artistically wrong.
It's a different matter in the folk process, where songs are shaped and altered according to how they are transferred from person to person. But that's different because the songs aren't set in stone, copywrited, published (sometimes), or even credited to one particular writer. I think a famous song like "Imagine" is not fair-game for the folk process, at least not when being broadcast or professionally recorded.

I hope you realize I was being facetious about them being "correct". Just to clarify what I was trying to say is that the "spirit' of what the little bald fat man was saying could be reflected upon tolerance of religious freedoms and not a extremist stance on a single religious belief like "mine is right- the rest of you are condemned..." It is different than a secular "god-less" view- but makes a similar point about historic wars because of ones beliefs, even within the same general belief factions. OK. We cool. (Sorry for the bad grammar! ;D)

. . . and who makes the best pizza! ;D LOL! Good point! Wow! Is that a British bone of contention, too? I've seen people REALLY take it personally here. I wonder if in India they argue over who makes the best naan or dal.
