Thread Name: off-color gospel song - where's it from?
Subject: RE: off-color gospel song - where's it from?
This is sort of an admission, not a complaint. I come from a pretty conservative (might as well say fundamentalist) background. A part of me still started to go "Oh, gracious me" when I saw that lyric; just a momentary reaction. Then I saw Susan acknowledge her own, and Hardi's, reactions. Now, I don't mean I'm offended or "opsot" with them at all; but old conditioning dies hard, and it just makes my head spin a little to think of a "nice pastor" and his "nice wife" being able to laugh freely (and admit it freely) at somthing our puritan forebears would have killed someone for.
   (But the "spin" feels kinda good).
