MY QUOTE: "The song has definitely needed a re-write for a long, long time, probably within minutes of its release"

YOUR RESPONSE: While you are at it, why don't you expand this and modify other lyrics you don't agree with for whatever reasons? Talk about communism!

Are you sure you are at the right forum? Memory Refresher: THIS IS FREEREPUBLIC.COM. Maybe you are the one that needs to go post at communism.com. There you are free to modify written words all you want. Just as long as they suit your agenda, go for it!

I truly appreciate your advice. Unfortunately, I have been here about 4 1/2 years speaking up against communism and other idiot leftists, and I will have to think long and hard about taking advice from someone who has been here for 4 days. Okay, I've thought about it. NO.

I've written well over 1000 parody songs, the purpose of which is to mock the pathetic left and their supporters. To somehow equate my mocking with communism could be the silliest response ever made to me on this forum. It certainly is a puzzling response. I've had a lot of responses viciously attacking me with leftist bile, however, yours may indeed actually be the silliest.

Thanks, also, for defining this forum for me. I suspect that free republic means I am allowed to write stinging parody and post it as long as it does not go over the top in sexual inference and/or violent content. At communism.com, I don't think I would be very appreciated.

Anyway, thanks for your advice. It will be given the consideration it deserves.

Welcome to FreeRepublic.

He is a business man too. Neil owns the Lionel Train company. He does hate Drugs and those that use them.

Why he did the LENNON/UN song is beyond me.

For some reason, I knew you or someone else were going to come at me with the "Only 4 days thing".

Let me set this straight. I am a supporter of freerepublic.com. I donated my cash to them. I believe in their cause and appreciate everything they do. BUT I ONLY BEEN HERE 4 DAYS SO THAT MAKES YOU AND OTHERS OPINIONS THAT BEEN HERE LONGER MORE IMPORTANT THAN MINE. Because you stated:

"I will have to think long and hard about taking advice from someone who has been here for 4 days"

Okay, whatever.....If we really want to go there, how many freeploaders are around here? I guess if they been here longer, that is what really counts, huh? Personally, I think we should all be on equal ground around here regardless of time registered or donations given. But apparently some feel differently. That's fine.

I wasn't familiar that you have written parody songs, so my apologies to you. You do have every right to do that. I just see so much hypricitical points in this thread. Like the song or not, (which I have noted I really do not care for it), I do not believe in banning it from certain radio stations and I do not believe in censorship. That is wrong, and I am surprised that more people aren't discussing the aspect of that instead of trying to tell us what the song stands for, when Lennon himself said what it means. But I guess direct quotes from the songwriter himself don't matter. Hmmmmmmmm.....
