Little Sir Hugh rubs shoulders on AR's album with a lot of other macabre ballads in which terrible things are done. The album isn't going to turn anyone into an anti-semite, any more than it will make someone burn nurses or murder their daughter's boyfriends. If anything it serves to remind us that anti-semitism is equally barbaric.

Compare that with Captain Beefheart's 'Dachau Blues' from Trout Mask Replica. There is no racist intent there either, but I find it much more disturbing. The idea of writing a blues song about the Holocaust seems to me intrinsically offensive and staggeringly insensitive.
