Definitely complex. I stumbled across a boxed set of CD recordings of the old "Amos n' Andy" radio show about 10 years ago. I'd never heard the infamous program, so I bought, took it home, and put it on the stereo. It was a weird experience. I alternated between cringing at the stereotypes and laughing at the jokes. --John ****************************** John Edwin Mason, Photography: http://www.JohnEdwinMason.com Charlottesville and Cape Town
