Can someone out there please verify a rumor that I heard yesterday concerning John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s song “Happy Christmas (War is Over)”? I heard that it’s been remade, with a Lennon-sound-alike, removing all the “troubling” mentions of war and fear. I can’t imagine this it true, but you never know these days.

A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

War is over!
If you want it
War is over!
Now!
