C Lo Green bastardizes John Lennon's song.
In singing "Imagine" at the New Year's Eve event at Times Sq., Green replaced "and no religion too" with "and all religion's true"--not only a grammatical error but a factual and literal impossibility. That of course reverses the meaning of the song. After nearly 40 years of hearing that song, maybe it ought to occur to people that Lennon meant what he said. It wasn't some metaphor for tolerance or whatever. He meant we should get rid of the artificial social constructs--nation, religion, property--that give people reasons to hurt and kill each other.

Church of the Creator
Founded:
1973
Location:
East Peoria, IL
Profiled Leadership:
Matt Hale
Ideology:
Neo-Nazi
A self-styled religious organization, the Creativity Movement incessantly promotes what it sees as the inherent superiority and "creativity" of the white race — about the only tenets there are to its supposed "theology." After the 1993 suicide of Ben Klassen, who initially formed the group in 1973 as the Church of the Creator and wrote a number of foundational texts, new leader Matt Hale renamed it the World Church of the Creator (WCOTC) in 1996. The group, largely composed of racist skinheads, developed a reputation for the rampant criminal violence of its members and the verbal violence of Hale. After Hale was convicted of soliciting the murder of a federal judge in 2004 — and the group was ordered to change its name because of a ruling in a copyright infringement trial — the once-formidable outfit now known as the Creativity Movement all but collapsed, leaving only weak remnants.
In Its Own Words
"We gird for total war against the Jews and the rest of the goddamned mud races of the world — politically, militantly, financially, morally and religiously. In fact, we regard it as the heart of our religious creed, and as the most sacred credo of all. We regard it as a holy war to the finish — a racial holy war. Rahowa! is INEVITABLE. … No longer can the mud races and the White Race live on the same planet."
— Founder Ben Klassen, 1987

Since you both seem to be Beatles Fundamentalists. 
Sorry, couldn't help myself. Too much time reading R/T...and I'm usually something of a B.F. myself.
e.g., that misbegotten "Sgt. Pepper" movie always makes me want to do an Elvis on the TV. Complete with Elvis' alleged comment as he blew away an electronic Robert Goulet: "That'll be about enough of that shit."
Anyway, I wondered what the two of you thought about The Smithereens Beatle projects. I like them myself.
In 2007, The Smithereens released "Meet The Smithereens!," on which they covered all the songs from "Meet The Beatles."
In 2008, they followed up with "B-Sides The Beatles," a collection of single B-sides like "Thank You Girl" and "P.S. I Love You."
These were clearly labors of love, and not a dorky Vegas-style hack job. For "P.S.," they even used the original 1962 EMI session drummer, Andy White. (Ringo Starr was sidelined for that recording, filling in on tambourine and maracas.)
Here's an article with some detail on why they did it:
