Thread Name: Audrey Auld
Subject: RE: Audrey Auld
There's another Audrey Auld song that may give some people pause, "Parasitic Publicist Blues", which has the lines,

You played me for my money,
Yeah you give Jews a bad name
I want my pound of flesh

I'm convinced it was not her intention to promote pernicious stereotypes, but I wish she hadn't written that.

I enjoyed her show the one time I saw her in concert, at a folk festival in Australia.
