Hmmm, perhaps as a side project with the two Katies (they would probably get a kick out of doing it).

I've thought for a few years that this would be a great idea . . . but i'm definitely not one up to the task of differentiating "important" news items from "vainglorious" ones. . . .

I have also wondered for some time if someone would ever rewrite the song to reflect current events... though everyone I've talked with about it has said, "Yeah, that may be a good idea, but it will never happen."

Compared to the previous few decades, (holocaust, dropping the h-bomb, civil rights protestors getting murdered and civil rights leaders getting assasinated, Vietnam) I'd say our times have improved.
