we have to face the fact that we as Jews are not very well liked today in 2004

Well, you're in good company, anyway. The Pagans among us, as well as those of us with somewhat more amorphous spiritual beliefs (and to some people's way of thinking, even more strange than what is in the Rabbi's song) aren't particularly well liked either, at least not by the mainstream public.

I think the Rabbi is right. Music often is an excellent way to build bridges between people.
