During the first season's original run, one of my Media &
Society students did a final paper on Deadwood, mostly
focused on the expletives, which he thought were pretty cool.
Unfortunately, he actually claimed that those words did not
even exist then, that they were being imposed
retrospectively. Every generation seems to think they have
invented the word fuck -- they are blown away when I play
them excerpts from Jelly Roll Morton's Murder Ballad and
Dirty Dozens.
