Subject: RE: No man's land protest
I too would like the Legion to make a lot of money - but I'd like (even having read Eric's own comments)the general public to know that what's happened is akin to someone rewriting John Lennon's 'Imagine' and putting it out there without remaining true to the sentiment nor singing a style that's sympathetic to the original.                Yes, there's the 'folk process' - with different interpretations - but not butchering and wailing (by some accounts). I do admit, for my own reasons, I do not plan to listen to the JS version.       Hopefully Eric will receive a good return too.
