Yes, one of the gods of music had a song that was better than pop. Thumbs up. Great observation.

Also, that guy who sang "You never even call me by my name" also sang a song called "removed Fucker." David Allen Coe. One of the legendary country artists.

There will always be racists. But the number of artists with main stream mega hits that also will record songs like "removed fucker"? I think that's a smaller list than it used to be. That's progress.

E: the removed word is a slur for African-Americans ending in a hard R.
