[78-L] Warning..offensive article, mainly because it's absolute BS

[78-L Mail List]

What I find interesting is that the posting of the article on this list has 
produced 2 or 3 replies. Over on Facebook (78rpm records & cylinders fan group) 
the debate is ongoing with about 45 comments.

After World War II, the advent of the automobile and the ensuing sprawl required parlors to devise a way to take their products to customers. Ice cream trucks were the solution, and a music box was installed in them as a way to announce their presence in neighborhoods. Naturally, the traditional minstrel tunes of the previous century were employed to evoke the memorable parlor experience." I don't understand what that has to do with a particular Harry Browne lyric from the 1910s. Anything?
