[Dixielandjazz] PC correct lyrics

[Mike]

Well Edwin, I guess it really boils down to a judgement call on the 
performers part. If you feel comfortable performing songs as is(and you 
feel that you won't offend your audience or if you don't care if you 
do)then perform as is. You are right about rap music; other than being 
disgusting and downright rude it often doesn't make any sense. We can 
either raise the bar or lower it, the choice is ours.
