@Blandiver: Re: your first point, I have no idea. But I can say that a lot of Berlin's music reminds me of some of the stuff Billy Joel does. Catchy melodies and harmonies that are easy to sing but hard to play (I've tried to figure them out on the piano- not easy). Sentimental, very clever lyrics. I'm especially thinking of 'Worse Comes To Worst' and 'Somewhere Along The Line' from Piano Man, which I recently bought. 'Rosalinda's Eyes' from 52nd Street could have been a Latin number in an old Broadway musical, except the lyrics are much darker than most 'latunes.'

RE the racism of the P-word: I'm not even going to go there, except to state that I know it's racist, and I'm not excusing its use.
