Sorry John C. There is no "universal" RIGHT. In fact, thinking that it is, is far more disturbing to me than some tasteless lyrics to a song that's going to be yesterdays news before you can blink. Passing those attitudes on to our kids (that our truth is the "only" truth) is even more disturbing. That's how we end up with klansman, nazis, Islamic and other religious extremist, and the like. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying that there is no place in our society for morality, or for teaching our children a system of values. But let's not forget Jesse Jackson's (I think) observation that "the most segregated time in America is Sunday morning between 10 and 11am". Moving on; how about this lyric written in the 30's....(prostitute) If you'd like to sample my wares, follow me and climb the stairs, I've got LOVE FOR SALE. Beautiful tune, played by jazz artists everywhere, never heard any huge outcry about it. Gosh, guess it must be about the quality of the music. Ok, I've probably ruffled enough feathers for today. I can understand Bill's (Semi-live) frustration at trying to be a serious songwriter and watching this tune (and hundreds more like it) sail to the top of the charts. Bill, you just have to accept the fact that (for the moment) it ain't about quality anymore. But that will change, it always does.

Peace,
