No, I'm afraid it's not okay.  When Harnick and Bock musicalized the
authentic material of Sholom Aleichem in "Fiddler on the Roof," they
effectively Americanized the work, removing any real Jewish ruach from
the story, homogenizing it until it was ready for the goyishe masses,
and therefore rendered the lyrics inappropriate for inclusion in a
conversation about Jewish music....

Nyah nyah... ;-)

(To steer this vaguely back on topic, Ben's been too modest to plug
himself, but his band's album "Get in Trouble" should get mentioned in a
conversation about loud fringe Jewish music.  So I did.)
