One may be forgiven for thinking Henry Luce and Steve Ross (?) invented the word "crass." Tonight we were going through the
Library of Congress's vast Lincoln repositories and noticed
tunesmiths wrote two hundred funeral dirges after he was shot. We can see some of these bozos barging into music publishing houses yelling, "I got a GRRRRREAT funeral dirge for you -- it's cornier and more bathetic than the others and it'll sell three million copies!" Of COURSE they're all forgotten except by Congress's librarians, which means despite their hopes neither SLIME nor SUMNER has a monopoly on GROSS.
