Thanks for thinking of me. However, only one thing sucks more than
reading Olde English poetry - listening to rap "music". The combination
of the two boggles the mind, yo.

NPR just covered the story (after a rather lengthy disclaimer about bad
language, adult themes, etc.) about fifteen minutes ago on "All Things
Considered," complete with a couple of excerpts and a reading of part of the
original as counterpoint. The commentator pointed out that the strange
sound of Chaucer's work was due in part to its having been written before
the great vowel shift.

Given that the often scatological material in the original was cleaned up
considerably by Mr. Brinkman, in marked contrast to the standard fare
offered by rappers, one is surprised that no reference was made to the great
bowel shift.
