Re: "Looking for something to be mad about"
(Anonymous) 2017-05-27 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)What was the song? Unless it was five minutes of someone chanting the word nigger then I'm guessing it was probably okay.

(Anonymous) 2017-05-27 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)I don't recall the name unfortunately, but it was by someone who's dead and his estate was one of the baby boomers.

(Anonymous) 2017-05-28 08:13 am (UTC)(link)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.
