As much as I would love to lay claim to the piece on 'political correctness'  
I have to not take a bow and direct your applause to the redoubtable, Charlie 
Hooks.

I would like to add my support for Jim's refreshingly direct statement of an 
obvious fact. PC is trying to happen here in the UK but thankfully its 
toehold is somewhat precarious at the moment, we can still say publicly 
without fear of the thumbscrews "Down with Cecil Taylor, 
Eminem and all their ilk". 
 
More power to your pen Jim, you have fans out here who kiss your picture 
every night as they slip between the sheets.
