I concur with those posters who are on the side of "wit" over explicit vulgarity. However, it is true that culture has been downgraded by each new generation. It's at such a low, now, that I wonder where it can go to from here. I hope Cardi's grandchildren find solace in 'wap' as she sings them to sleep some night in the future.

Cole Porter was about the naughtiest one could get and still be brilliantly witty............."kick him right in the Coriolanus" --

No, I think what is true is that every generation believes that culture is being downgraded by each new generation.

And, it's "kick HER right in the Coriolanus" - which doesn't go over as well nowadays.

I wonder if the day will dawn when you have something positive to say about the content of other members' posts. I feel sure that you gaze into a lake each morning upon awakening.

This is my point exactly. I'm 30 -- not a curmudgeonly old man. How LOW can culture go after this -- your thing about Cardi B singing WAP to her granddaughters sums it up perfectly

I love Cole Porter but I also love Julia Lee, Bessie Smith and the "Dirty Blues" tradition. My guess is Cole Porter adored it too but he wrote his songs for a different world.
