Thread Name: Is it permissible-to change a word in an old song?
Subject: RE: Is it permissible-to change a word in an old song?
Folks, permissible has nothing to do with it.
We do what we do. I never sang a song the same way twice. If the director of my old NPR radio show was telling me we were out of time, I'd figure a way to sum up the song and end it. Hell if a great folksinger decides to be another gender, who is to say anything about permissible??!!

The more things change, the more they get different. It might take an individual a few decades to understand the complete truth of that, but it is the way of this world. Hell, it's the way if this universe------and a few others maybe.

Love,

Art
