Mr. Green, as you so eloquently stated in your widely successful hit single, I offer a sincere fuck you! You were given what many artists would consider a great honor, performing the interlude to the traditional "dropping if the crystal ball." Instead you extended your arm with a fully, might I add chubby, middle finger. Not only butchering one of the greatest and most recognizable songs of a generation but, oh yeah, changing four integral lyrics how you saw fit. Shame on you Sir. You are a freaking artist yourself, have you no shame? Not only did you disrupt the entire meaning of the song, you stepped all over John Lennons legacy by your rewriting Imagine. Your intentions and insertion of "all religion is true" is not only a slap in the face but a forced injection on an inappropriate platform. I give you your rights and freedoms of speech and religion, but how about after your performance? Imagine is not your song to edit how you see fit.
I understand that you went on twitter with a "I don't understand what the big deal is" tweet (nice apology by the way). Well, if you don't understand what the big deal is then you are clearly the most self absorbed, self serving asshole on the face of this planet. You mock the very industry you represented, the property you purposely defaced was not yours to begin with. Again I echo my earlier statement: Mr. Cee Lo Green, fuck you!
You go, Josh!! ;)
