Subject: RE: BS: How would you rate folk music?
Back in the days of entertainment radio, Fred Allen (may his memory live forever) had a skit in which a New England character told another, "Go feg your dill". The censors bleeped the phrase off the air. Allen protested, saying that the phrase was something he had made up, was void of any meaning and was something that he thought sounded funny. Censors were adamant about keeping filth (read PI material) off the air. Finally they compromised: on a re-run, the character was told "Go dill your feg". Public morals were spared.
