A Video for the New Year

This one is primarily inspired by Cee Lo's butchering of John Lennon's classic "Imagine" on New Years Eve.  I think Cee Lo is a musical genius, and I love his songs otherwise, but I was very disappointed in his decision.  As someone on Twitter recently wrote:
The whole point of that lyric is that religion causes harm. If "all relgion's true" it would be a pretty bleak place.

In addition to that, this is one of the greatest songs ever written, and it's message (while perhaps overly optimistic to someone with a more realist view of the world) is something that we as the human race should always be trying to strive for.  May Lennon's words live on in the hearts of good people everywhere, and may you have a wonderful 2012.
