Alan Lynn sheepishly tiptoes through a field of broken glass to discuss
this politically incorrect theme:

Perhaps this signals a return to house music.  Or we use what talent we
have.  If the law on your side, emphasize the law, the facts, highlight the
facts.  If you have neither the law or facts on your side, the exposure of
a little leg and then some wouldn't hurt if the judge and the majority of
jurors are genderly male.

In either case, these young ladies will always find an open door policy
at my abode.  I will be only too happy to lend me my ear and then some.

I still remember the cover of Ives Second Symphony conducted by Bernstein
shows the composer in a raincoat looking for all the world as the
stereotypical dirty old man.  Music has a long tradition of dirty old men.
At least, they haven't wholly withered.
