I feel like betting somebody a buck that they'll keep them in.  It 
would be too grotesque to leave out either Fiddle About or Cousin 
Kevin. The artistic integrity of the story itself would suffer. I'd be 
ashamed of them if they cut the songs out due to the child-abuse 
political angle, and I can't believe they'd be so petty as to cut out 
John songs just because he's dead.

Cheers,
