2. I just pulled out my CD of the "Three Tenors," Pavorati, Domingo, Cerreras

sing that tonight!

Lyrics that hit home...and the Three Tenors sung it in 1999...did they have a "premontion" to include Lennon's anti-war..Viet-Nam song in their performance so many years later?

I don't know but whoever sings it...the lyrics are powerful when we have another Christmas where America is at War with some other cocked up Foe... :-(

PEACE TO ALL OF US...!
