Well, gee Bob that seems a little over the top to me. Chauvinistic yes, but I think you have to consider the context of the song. The song "The Ginger Man" is a musical analogy to the novel by J.P. Donleavy of the same title. The novel portrays an Irish-American grad student in Dublin who is an alcoholic, manipulating, womanizing, low-life who in his own way is quite charming. I wish you could be more specific about your dislike for the song and Muldaur. I don't know Muldaur, so I can't say if he is evil or not. Could it be that you just want to be provocative? Ron
