Re: "Looking for something to be mad about"

Yep. For example.

There was something about a gathering at a college, someone played a song, someone else said that maybe it was an iffy song to play, and the person removed it from the rotation. You'd think that would be the end of it, but it was an old song and baby boomers got all upset about it and started yelling about 'overly sensitive millenials' when the situation was more or less done.

Boomers are as entitled to hear their favorite songs as Millennials are. Millennials ought to have shut up and let the olds have their fun.

What was the song? Unless it was five minutes of someone chanting the word nigger then I'm guessing it was probably okay.

The thing is though, it was a college event. There might have been some baby boomers there but it was written up as as casual thing and somehow it caught fire on the internet. It wasn't posted on like the Chicago Tribune.

I don't recall the name unfortunately, but it was by someone who's dead and his estate was one of the baby boomers.

So it was a ratpack tribute event and some snowflakes got upset with a little Frank in their Frank? Jesus.

What was the song?

It was Walk On The Wild Side by Lou Reed. And to be fair, I understand why complaints about the song bothered people (even though some people made the situation out to be more dramatic than it actually was). Yes, the song has some bits that, if it were freshly written today, would be iffy. But Lou Reed fucking championed LGBT rights and LGBT lives at a time when it was really putting yourself out there to do so, and Walk On The Wild Side is very much a loving ode to real, actual LGBT people he knew, and to the LGBT community by proxy. All of which is context that the people criticizing the song were either dismissing, or were ignorant of.
