i get in trouble when I talk about this sort of thing, but i wanted to know what others thought. Esp. Jibbs Do Your Chains Hang Low, but other places, is there a reworking of 19th century corking up in popular music, and if so, what exactly happened? Why now? (i mean Tosches and Lee both wrote books about this 5 years ago, why not then?)

Suspect the conflict is more class here than race - "class" not being a simple concept, of course. Anyway, the piece you linked seemed like a refined version of a temper tantrum, middle-class quasi-intelligentsia embarrassed by the down-home cousins, wants to blame the man. But it was good for one thing: I'd never heard "Fry That Chicken," and it's better than either "Chain Hang Low" or "Chicken Noodle Soup."
