So the ENTIRE folk world stops IMMEDIATELY singing ANY song that might offend ANYBODY - How many Traditional songs does THAT leave us with ???
"I am a Staunch republican , so NO songs about The Nobility , especially Kings and Queens"
"I'm a Vegan so NO songs mentioning Meat , Eggs , Milk or Cheese!"
"I am an Amimal Lover , so NO songs about Hunting or Whaling"
"I am a Pacifist , so NO songs about Wars"
"I am a VERY serious Naturist , so NO songs about Tailors or Clothing"
"I am a TeeTotaller , so no songs about beer or wine!"
"I am a Mysoginist , so no songs about the delights of women"
Where do you stop drawing the line ?
