There's nothing essentially wrong with adapting lyrics so that you feel more comfortable with them, but it's important, too, to bear in mind that they were composed with specific context in mind. It's not always considered a good thing to re-write Shakespeare, for example, to accommodate modern sensibilities.  The 19th. century version of King Lear with a happy ending comes to mind.  I'm not comparing Foster directly to Shakespeare, but in his own field he was probably just as important.

On a less serious note, I have to admit that every time I hear John Tams' Rolling Home, I have to control myself very carefully when it comes to "...and let the toast go free";  I can just see posters saying "THE TOAST IS INNOCENT O.K"; I'd sign the petition!

P.S: 'SPaw: The main problem with Virgin is that you always have to attempt at least three connections before you get one that works; and you still have to pay for the ones that don't.   Some things never change...
