Re: Dangers of Dixieland

I remember seeing an interview with a musician who was
in Nazi occupied Holland. His description of the rules
was very similar. In particular, I recall him saying
that "swaying" was strictly forbidden.

If there is any justice, Hitler, Stalin, & "Il Duce"
are in hell listening to rap music at this very
moment. Mao is serving drinks.
