Thread Name: Songs that offend you
Subject: RE: Songs that offend you
I can't think of a single song that offends me. I guess I am able to escape into context with about anything I hear.

Two songs I flat out don't like and amazed at their acceptance are

"The Old Man" ( Phil Coulter) and "The Voyage" (Christy Moore? I think) just awful. If you want to hear the sentiments they engender try Jerry Jeff Walker's "My Old Man" and Tom Paxtons "Outward Bound"

Rapaire, I have never doubted Phil Ochs relevance.

Gerry, I think you better read your history a little deeper. It was some, underline some, make that a few, people who were Jewish that crucified Jesus, It was not all the Jews who did it. Rome was responsible but a couple of frightened local clerics caused directly the deed to be done. You can't say all the Jews killed Christ, who was Jewish anymore than you can say all the Catolics are responsible for the Spainish Inquisition. Altho' some one will I'm sure.
