Lennon vs Pop Idol

I just read that the 'original' Lennon song happy christmas
(war is over) is going to be released as a christmas because
of the outrage the Pop Idol version has caused. Is this
really true? I'll be buying it if it is, he's probably
turning in his grave at the thought of TV show finalists
making a shitty version of one of his songs just for
publicity and money, it makes me sick!

Anyway, Lennon died 23 years ago today so i've been
listening to lots of Lennon songs. I find the Happy
Christmas (was is over) quite haunting, especially when the
children start singing 'lets hope it a good one without any
fear'

that should read 'is going to be released as a christmas
single'

who the hell has the rights to these songs anyway, surely
permission is needed to murder a song?

I never got past the first audition. Said something about my
nervous twitch or something.

anyone got the new Lennon DVD? Yoko Ono has made a new
'disturbing' video for Happy Xmas (war is over) which is
included.
