It seems to me some folks are too quick to discard someone's art simply because they do not agree with his or her political persuasion. Stephen Foster probably was in favor of slavery, as perhaps the majority of the population was in his day, but that is no longer the case. I still think Stephen Foster wrote some very pretty songs. On another thread someone questioned whether or not Amazing Grace should be performed any more because the composer at one time was a ship's captain and transported slaves. This political correctness thing is getting to ba a pain in the ass I think. Just my opinion, of course.
