Subject: RE: BS: A discussion - What is antisemitism? .
Nerd: I remember I used to sort of play that J not a J game. One day I found out Billy Joel was Jewish and for some reason I thought that was cool. Later the same day I found out Roseanne Barr was, too and i decided it was a stupid game (although later I grew to appreciate Roseanne). But the coolest thing was one of my all time favorite people in the movies was James Cagney. Well, he lived out the last part of his life on Martha's Vineyard (in Massachusetts) and in his 80's he was interviewed locally (probably one of his last appearances) and he was alert and able to recite one of his first vaudeville acts - in Yiddish!
