[Dixielandjazz] Political correctness again

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

Personally I regard any notion of "politically incorrect" as vacuous. 
A fit topic for mockery. 


Political correctness is on the other hand something recognisable and easily diagnosed. 

It occurs when rather than playing a few numbers to forestall not very musical observations from the audience, a musician or ensemble who not without some alternative abandons everything else to pander with hackwork. 

It might not be OKOM but I preferred when P.C. was a police constable and "Mr. P.C." was the unplodding bassist Paul Chambers.
