Subject: RE: Objections to 'The Motherf---er's Ball'
I really don't like smutty songs, and I don't sing them. However, they and naughty children's songs are just about the only things that are still transmitted by the "folk process." Almost all other aspects of our culture are printed, broadcasted, and copyrighted. So, if you want to study the folk process in our current culture, ya gotta study dirty ditties.

That being the case, I think we should all think of "The Motherfuckers' Ball" as a sacred song.
