Thread Name: Songs that offend you
Subject: RE: Songs that offend you
When I was growin' up back in ol' Virginny we used to sing a song in out white public schools entitled "Old Black Joe"... I didn't know enough about the real world at the time to be offended but that changed... What ahorrible song to make a bunch of lilly white kids sing in their lilly white elementary school...

Now there are a couple songs that I've heard over the years that I should offend me but fir some reason I just think they are funny, like Bobby Bare's "Redneck Mother", 'er whoever it was that wrote "Jesus, Kick Me Thru the Goal Posts of Life"...

And then there are songs that are so bad that I am offended that I have written songs a zillion times better that have never mad4e it on the radio yet these lame songs did. The worst of these offenders in Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey"... Worst song ever written... Makes me reconsider my position on the death penalty...
