GUEST,Bluesmike Songs that offend you (169* d) RE: Songs that offend you 09 Dec 04


What offends me is intolerance. Even disgraceful songs like Move them Niggers North. Or David Allan Coe's song about his wife run off with a nigger have relevance. Folk songs are about how real people feel in real time and in 100 years these songs will present to anthropologists very real sentiments about a particular segment of society. In these frightening days of global truth as presented by Bush and his global crusaders the idea of even beginning a discussion on censorship and things that 'offend' has really scary implications.
It is up to you all to choose what offends and to turn it off not to set an arbitrary standard . If you are real your own truth is the only thing which has any relevence.
