Subject: RE: Anger over La Cucaracha
Maybe so, McGrath -
I wouldn't think of singing a song about marijuana to grade school kids, or maybe even high school kids. I'd be taking my life in my hands, since I'd be sure to be drawn and quartered by angry parents. The funny thing is that I accept that taboo without question.

But if the kids were over 18, I'd be castigated for censorship for failing to sing the marijuana verses. And I accept THAT taboo without question.

Guess I'm not the "maverick" I thought I was.....
