[edit] Lyrical pun?

From the article: "In Joan of Arc's case, her achievements are described with lyrics that were popular vernacular at the time, but are now considered to be outdated (Joan of Arc, with the Lord to guide her / She was a sister who really cooked)."

I'm not sure what the above quotation is supposed to mean, but I've always taken this line to be a play on words due to the fact that she was burned at the stake ("...she was a sister who really cooked"). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Santegeezhe (talk • contribs) 13:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly. I'm removing the mention to outdated vernacular. Puck35 (talk) 18:39, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm thinking that the "outdated vernacular" referred to the use of "sister". — MusicMaker5376 20:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
In this case "sister" is clearly a reference to Joan of Arc's religious associations. Puck35 (talk) 04:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Wrong. Joan of Arc wasn't a nun. She just heard voices. He's using "sister" in the 70s vernacular of "female friend". — MusicMaker5376 14:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I know that. I was careful to not say Joan of Arc was a nun. I agree that "sister" is being used in the vernacular sense, but it also appeals to those who *do* think Joan of Arc was a nun. And "sister" is hardly outdated vernacular. Puck35 (talk) 04:14, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Horatio Sanz character?

Until someone can provide convincing evidence that Horatio Sanz's "Carol" character is based on Maude's daughter Carol, I'm removing that section. Puck35 (talk) 17:55, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
