I wanna rock!

Dee really seems like a classy and fantastically intelligent guy. I've been a fan since way back.

I wonder, would Mister Sister and the boys put out such an album if the topic had not become so controversial?

Nice column.

I decided 'Merry Christmas' wasn't offensive enough, so now I go with: 'Have a Blessed Season of the Birth of Our Savior!"

Interesting question. I'd bet they would have, since what inspired it is the fact that "We're Not Gonna Take It" is almost note for note the same as "Come All Ye Faithful."

Thanks, Mr. S!


"And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them! And they were sore afraid ... And the angel said unto them, "Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings o great joy, which shall be to all my people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord."

"And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth peace, and good will toward men."

"That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."

A melody without copyright is easy pickins for winding verses around ... I don't think stealing the melody of a 'religious' song around which to wrap secular message qualifies as 'in sympathy with the original message.'

True. My take was that nobody could have shut them up, not that they have become Christians.

Interesting and so true.
Somehow I missed Twisted Sister's rendition of the classic Christmas Carol. Actually, it is a bit difficult for me to imagine it. LOL!
