Great stuff. One of the wisest things said on thes thread is Guest's comment 'Sensitivity changes and depends on the historical context', Boy, is that true - we're not as evolved today as we like to think.

Midchuck: If The Man in the Moon Was a Coon was written in 1905 and sold THREE MILLION copies in sheet-music. I have the lyrics, as it happens. D'you want them? They're pretty shocking by today's standards.
