On campus, Ted ran a karaoke bar with a difference. A political activist, Ted gave prizes for the most imaginative rebellion lyrics put to original songs. Students loved the creativity and latitude.

Here’s the chorus of this week’s winner — Sung to Billy Joel’s ‘Honesty’

Blas-phem-y is such a dirty word

When everyone is so devout

Blasphemy is hardly ever heard

But mostly what we scream about

Note: Ted did have to compromise on the choice of background song, the Pussy Riot members wanted God Save The Queen by The Sex Pistols, but Ted didn’t think it was timely.
