Actually, it was a student of mine. So you're not alone in
your observation. He went so far as to say the show would be
boring without the cursing. That's his opinion, all well and
good, but he went on to claim it was not only overused, but
inauthentic, that those words did not even exist at that
time. I told him that was wrong, at least fuck and I figured
it was wrong about the others, too. Every generation thinks
they invented those words; they are shocked when I play them
Morton's Murder Ballad.
I told him I would check. Figured you all could save me a
trip to the library, which you did. Thanks.
