Jon deserves to be slated for what he did to this song. Fairytale of New York is one of the most iconic Christmas songs of all time, and he removed everything that makes it so brilliant. Who is Jon to change somebody else's lyrics like this? As Jon always likes to say, this song has become everybody's song, and he's messing with people's art.
Was it CeeLo Green who a few years ago released a cover of Imagine and removed/changed the lines about no heaven and no religion because he is a religious nut? Art is not something you mess around with to be PC. It's like covering up a naked statue. People who do these things should be reviled. Moreover, Jon is supposed to be a rock star. He's the last person who should be bowing to PC culture.
