I wonder regarding Joel's idea that "words [of a song] do not
matter" and you can sing anything. Is it anywhere in the Torah
or in Reform Judaism that words in general do not matter (FWIW,
even Lavan did not think so and had to find excuses to his cheating,
he did not say brazenly "words do not matter"). Or is it that
"words that are accompanied by music" do not matter. 

is it somewhere in the "Gates of something"?
