Ewan MacColl's upper lip!

Is it supercilious? Does it curl in a sneer? Or is it just a normal, British stiff upper lip? Should people be up in arms about it? Is it one more really disturbing thing worth mentioning about Ewan MacColl or is it inconsequential? What would Peggy Seeger have said about it?

Is it postmodern?

Shall we deconstruct it?

Will it someday be an icon?

(I'm with you, Wilbur.)

It is probably curling to get away from the smell of the Bullshit!
Quack!

I believe she often told him to watch his lip.

It may be that he grew a moustache to hide it as it might have been the cause of too much controversy in any venue where it did make a rare appearance.

But definitely Below the Line fodder.
Quack!

But the real question hasn't been asked:

Boxers or briefs (or Y-fronts if you will)?

Actually, Ewan MacColl was concocted out of nothing by John Jacob Niles, who claimed that he had found him in a wooded hollow in Kentucky, plucking blooms of the fair aronatis.
