Thanks for your views, Mick. I actually started that other thread to try and prompt some opinions - and it worked! Actually I agree - Mudcat should be apolitical and the songs we pass on may be lost if we all took a partisan stance. I have my own views about certain political issues - and there are some songs that I hate, but that does not take away their validity or there relevance.

But I think there may be occasions where some of us would draw the line. For instance, I would pass on just about any song, regardless of it's political bias - but in a surf recently I came across a site dedicated to the songs of the Nazis. Not German military songs, many of which are really beautiful, but the actual SS and SA songs of the thirties. Those I would not pass on., and they were the ones I was referring to in the other thread about stirring up hatred.
