Steve, sorry to keep pulling you up on your own previous postings, but hopefully it's clear why others may have interpreted quotes such as these as 'reserving the right' to use such language?

'Were I to find meself singing it to a bunch of grown-ups I think I'd explain that the words are of their time, and while we wouldn't use those words these days, I'm keeping them in'

'I want to hear what the song was intended to be, otherwise I just might not want to hear it at all'

'my view is that I don't care much for ridiculous rewordings of songs done largely by white men. The choice is to sing the thing, not sing the thing, change the thing then sing it, to listen or to not listen. Thank God we live in free countries (for now), eh?'
