Daas Yochid; I happen to appreciate a good line (or a pun.) but I disagree with the prejudiced opinion of that R”Y. Excluding songs on the basis of who sings them (or the crowd that adopts it) is prejudice. We sometimes keep up machlokes and differences that have long ago lost their reason of existence. The reason for the schism between Chasidim and Misnagdim has long evaporated. Even the regional differences between populations of Eastern Europe have (or should have) disappeared. The (Prejudicial and derogatory) terms “Poylisher”, “Ungarisher”, “Galitzyaner” & “Litvak” have (Hopefully) lost their meaning. We all live in close proximity to each other and marry from each other’s group. So, it’s time to throw away the old stuff. We’re ALL “Yidden”.
