Someone said Mel brooks had denounced Springtime for Hitler in The Producers. I wonder if this is still the case now that The Producers is the hottest ticket in London.

There wouldn't actually be all that much to laugh about if every joke were to be examined rigorously for a good taste content.

I think its because we all feel so strongly about folk music that we fight our corner a bit too ruthlessly occasionally and reach for the nastiest phrase we can to pigeonhole our detractors and diminishers.

God, or whoever forgive us all for our bouts of nastiness, testiness and middle aged narrowing of the mind.

Amen
