As the music editor, I am going to overrule the decision to close this thread, and I will move the messages from the BS thread here. This will no doubt be a controversial discussion. Please stick to the subject and refrain from personal remarks or attacks. If you disagree with a point of view, refute it with facts and logic - not namecalling. Be aware that an opposing opinion gives your side an opportunity to present its case and provide information that may be of value to us all. This topic is of folkloric value, and forms the context for many important songs. Mods, leave it alone.
