He looks like most banjo players I've met, gillymor. I'd be reluctant to say that they look like base ignorant animals. I'm not criticising the decision to shift that statue from its existent site, that's their business and they've given fair reasons. But I think that it's a pretty good statue, especially so far as the banjo player is concerned, and deserves to be treated respectfully. Maybe some researcher could hunt down who was the model for that figure. He looks like a very real person whose name might be tracked down.
