Subject: RE: Objections to 'The Motherf---er's Ball'
Taboo my aunt fanny! everybody fucks... everybody shits... (O.k.. I'll give ya the incest thing...) Get over it... It's only 'taboo' because you want to MAKE it taboo... I for one am glad I don't live in such 'Victorian' uptight times...

Every thing CAN be talked about, sang about, or joked about...

Context is all...

Would I sing this song in a CHUCH?!?! Of course not...
Would I sing it in a pub fulla rugby players??? It might be too tame for them...

Mudcat IS the context for discussing folk music... and if this ain't folk music, I donno what is...

Yer offended by the song, or by the thread? Don't post to it, and it'll drop off the bottom of the page soon enough... While yer at it, close the web browser, turn off the computer, go out to the garage and try building yourself a time machine so you can join the rest of us here in the beginning of the 21st Century.
