Pop culture today sucks. I feel bad for the kids.

I love the music of Pink Floyd despite the fact that its main creative force, Roger Waters, is an unapologetic anti-Israel lefty.

” I hate guns. I think they’re literally the worst,”

I stopped reading right there.

There is a Ton of Guilty Pleasures out there. :P

You'd go crazy if you sought only people who were George Washington Re-incarnated.

“Sweet Home Alabama” was written to defend segregation?

Huh?

1, 2, 3
Turn it up

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabama once again
And I think it’s a sin, yea

Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her
Well, I heard ol’ Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don’t need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor, boo boo boo
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you
Here I come, Alabama

Ah ah ah
Alabama, ah ah ah
Alabama, ah ah ah
Alabama, ah ah ah
Alabama

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they’ve been known to pick a song or two
(Yes, they do!)
Lord, they get me off so much
They pick me up when I’m feeling blue, now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you

Sweet home Alabama, oh, sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue and the governor’s true
Sweet home Alabama, Lord
Lord, I’m coming home to you, yeah yeah
Montgomery’s got the answer

"Rio Bravo' had a "pro-McCarthy" subtext?

WTF does that mean? Sounds like this Kulzick still has some butthurt about all the jewish commies that got outed.

About time to let it go and admit most of them WERE commies and still are today.

It seems now the media force feeds pop culture, as an example I’ve been with Netflix for about six years, it use to be gay and lesbian movies were something one would have to search for although not very hard, now they are displaying it regularly directly on the front page, I’m sure they surrendered to complaints by the gay lobby.

Many times such perversions just pop up in the middle of an otherwise good movie spoiling it at least for me, it is frustrating to see how liberalism is so deeply embedded in every form of our culture, all the things one would be ashamed to publicly seek out in the past is now open, prevalent and celebrated everywhere.

I think it is important to not get too caught up in the world view of artists. I have a lib friend who lets the artists he admires color his own views too much. Like the people in the article, I can enjoy the art (or pop culture) without feeling compelled to agree with the artist.

An example that comes to mind is Ingmar Bergman. I like a lot of his films. He was the son of a minister, but rejected God. His films are dark and nihilistic, and seem to put forth the idea that if there is a God, he does not care anything about humanity. I don't agree with it, but Bergman does such a great job of illustrating his worldview, that I cannot help but admire his work.
