Thread Name: Art's Politically Incorrect Songs - workshop
Subject: RE: Art'sPolitically Incorrect Songs-wrkshp
Hey Randy Fan.......I'm a fan too and the point/subject of this thread is politically incorrect which as often means words as well as ideas. Many Randy Newman songs are non-PC because of the words and not for their intent as used in the song.

We're rednecks, rednecks....Don't know our ass from a hole in the ground
We're rednecks, rednecks....Just keepin' the niggers down"


That's not PC no matter the real point of the song. One of the great charms of RN is just that........the language is true.

Great thread here Art!   I'm so damn glad you got that new computer!

And..........Ya' know, it sort of depends on what you're teaching just whether "East Texas Red" is politically incorrect or not. Outside of the gunplay there are a couple of solid moral/ethical ideas in there........Besides, I love the damn song (;<))
