Thread Name: Was 'Lord of the Dance' anti-semitic?
Subject: RE: Was 'Lord of the Dance' anti-semitic?
From another Sidney Carter song (Friday Morning
In the song the words are coming from the one of the robbers crucified along with Christ
"It was on a Friday morning that they took me from my cell
And I saw they had a carpenter to crucify as well.
You can blame it on to Pilate, you can blame it on the Jews,
You can blame it on the Devil, it's God I accuse.
It's God they ought to crucify, instead of you and me,
I said to the carpenter a-hanging on the tree."

That'll be Sydney then - a long long way from a religious intolerant or fundamentalist wouldn't you say?
