One of the modern mainstays of the Christmas season in its wonderful music featured 24 hours a day on the FISH 94FM is Jose Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad, I want to wish you a merry Christmas."
Yet with upcoming,Jan. 22nd embarrassing and unnecessary vote to make English the official language of Metro Nashville government, even this mainstay's future is in doubt here. Would a city employee or office be required to turn off the radio with this bilingual song when Jose sings "Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad, Felix Navidad, prospero ano y felicidad!
What did he say that was so threatening? "I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, I want to wish you a merry Christmas, I want to wish a Merry Christmas and prosperous and happy New Year!"
Yep, that's the threat the song or any different language represents to people and elected officials on the extreme. And that's the kind of thing that the demented and politically motivated Councilman Eric Crafton would demand in enforcement.
Don't buy into the silliness and backwardness of this referendum; vote no on Jan. 22. And then city offices will be able to let all the Christmas music on during the season of supposed good will to all.
