Forgot to mention that in the same lyric ("We Can Be Together" - Jefferson
Airplane/Volunteers), the liner notes read: "Up against the wall fred" but
what they sing is, of course, "Up against the wall motherfucker."
I feel so ... honored.
On the same album, in the lyric for "Eskimo Blue Day," the word "shit,"
however, is both printed and sung in the line "doesn't mean shit to a tree."
Which, given author Grace Slick's Jewish blood, serves as a good example of
Lenny Bruce's observation that: "To a Jew, f-u-c-k and s-h-i-t have the same
value on the dirty-word graph. A Jew has no concept that f-u-c-k is worth 90
points and s-h-i-t 10. And the reason for that is that -- well, see, rabbis
and priests both s-h-i-t, but only one f-u-c-ks."
