Subject: RE: 2007 Ewan MacColl Bio - Class Act
One or two funny stories like the time he said to people "imagine you have been away at sea and haven't seen a woman for ages" not realising two of them were gay, which apparently shocked him, but after that he stopped telling homophobic jokes (forget the page ref).
So there is some sense of it all being dated, with another example being his thinking Khruschev was too soft which is why he went over to Mao (I'm thinking he would have been supporting the cultural revolution??). All that seems so long ago.
