Wow I' did not mean to start any thing like this. No offence taken cat. Woke up this A>M. at 3 and started thinking about all this How do we stop from insulting any one or offending people Should we hand out a list of songs and their themes to people and ask what is offensive do not sing any thing about????? First there are peopla whose life has been affected by an act, Murder, stabings, rape, Other severe personal trauma. This I certainly understand. THe room mate of the lady I have been refering had been raped by her father. THen there are people who What many social workers refer to as Cause People. THese are people who are very involved with a cause And believe with all their hearts in that cause. It acts as a religion to them. So now let's take a a few songs and see where it leads. Silver Dagger We had a murder where a college student was stabed to death I would not sing it if I knew her parents were there Titanic "uncles and aunts little children pissed their pants" SSupose someone was incontinent would it insult them? Cowboy songs- Any vegins there? Songs of east coast Whale fishermen- Save the whales. Lumber jack songs - Tree huggers American hunters- Animal lovers Irish Rebel songs- People fropm north Ireland. The old Orange flute- people from southern Ireland Scottish balads- Murde,r rape,incest, all sorts of crimes. Patriotic songs-peace marchers {or are songs of National liberation ok?} Any war songs -ban all guns

So you see where does it all stop THe only songs that would be safe are nursery rhymes and Im not sure about them THere was a political side to them in old England. So you can't please everyone all the time. No more verses just play the tune and people will make up the words but sing then to their selves so they will not insult the person next to them. And finally to the final conclusion Someone is upset because they are playing an old STELLA and the next person has a vintage Martin I can see the next song circle we all play the AIR GUITAR and sing the sing to our self no sound at all and every one is happy. So you see where does it all end??? My final sttement "Some time in life we are pigions and some times we are statues. Lets just live and enjoy life, each other and our music. Afterward is just the long sleep As one of my students said "Life is a bitch and then you die.
