So I never got to work this out on stage or really find out if there were jokes in it worth exploring. I DID keep writing jokes at the top about why I was allowed to write and sing the blues even as a cisgender male Jew who can pass for a regular white guy if he could just learn to keep his big Jewish trap shut. I think there's something usable in that joke for somewhere. But I was using it as an explanation for why I am allowed to sing the blues... and also as a way of secretly telling people that I was trying to do blues.
Once I realize my own deceitful subtext, I have to expunge it from the show. Once I know my subtext lives in discomfort around the material or the performance of the material, it's time to pull it out of the show until it's further developed and understood.
