Thread Name: Art's Politically Incorrect Songs - workshop
Subject: RE: Art's Politically Incorrect Songs - workshop
I suspect I'm saying that there might not be any politically correct or incorrect songs at all really. It could be that there are songs that push individuals' personal buttons at some given moment, just as there are cartoons depicting deities that set off the humongous ultimate Rube Goldberg Machine that, in the end, ignites the whole world and ends everything. And there probably might be just that wrong moment to sing a given song---or to write certain words. -- Just ask Salman Rushdie about that dynamic.

I've always felt those Rube Goldberg cause-and-effect mechanical machines were pretty funny, and also proof of some sort of "intelligent design."

That might be a fault of mine though, I guess. I see the humor in almost all of it. My list of songs were simply to show how timing and context is everything! I always figured that if anybody in my audience "takes offense," they ought to try to put it back quickly before all the cows get out! (pun intended--scroll down ;-)









(takes a fence!)
Just a little joke, but I didn't think it'd be THAT little!

It can sometimes get so quiet around Mudcat that you can hear a pun drop! ;-)
