Dunno about PC cops, but I don't see how someone white can pull off singing
that song.  You'd have to give it a new title, also!  It's such a beautiful
tune, why not leave it as an instrumental?  I don't sing it (for the above
reasons), and most of our audiences don't even understand English!  It just
wouldn't seem right to me...
