Howard Jones, It is not an obscure interpretation that took 30 years to come to light. The issue was discussed for many years before the Quaker article was published. John Allan Cameron, the Canadian folksinger, was a seminary graduate who almost became a Catholic priest. Lord of the Dance was the theme song for a television series he had in Canada in the mid-1970s. The issue of possible anti-Semitism was raised with him then and he stopped singing the offensive verse. That was about 25 years before the Quaker article.
