That describes about 90% of the musicians I listen to...

So the old commie died.
Always wonders why he never moved to Cuber to be with his buddies.

I think we can acknowledge and honor his service, and at the same time, criticize his angry liberal political leanings.

Banana Boat Parody
“Osama Bin Laden Bomb Song”
Words by Craig Williams, “Sweet” Al Miller, Andy Kaye and Doug Marsh
Day-o! Daaa-yo!
Daylight come, and we drop the bomb
Pay — we say pay, we say pay, we say pay, we say pay-o!
Kick your ass, then we gonna come home
George Bush says that revenge come
Daylight come, and we drop the bomb
Load dem bombs til the morning come
Airplane come and we drop the bomb
Come, Mr. Taliban, turn over bin Laden
Colin Powell gonna bomb his home
Come, Mr. Taliban, turn over bin Laden
Payback come, and we drop the bomb
Lift one bomb, two bomb, three bomb, four!
Payback come, and we drop the bomb
Six bombs, seven bombs, hit the floor
Cruise missile knocking at your door
Come, Mr.Taliban, turn over bin Laden
Colin Powell gonna bomb his home
Come, Mr. Taliban, turn over bin Laden
Payback come, and we drop the bomb
Lift one bomb, two bomb, three bomb, four!
Payback come when we drop the bomb
Six bomb, seven bomb, hit the floor
Cruise missile knocking at your door
Pay — we say pay-o
Kick your ass, then we wanna come home

Many Lefties joined the US military to fight Nazi Germany AFTER Germany and the USSR went to war.
As long as Germany and the USSR had their Pact, they were quiet.

America embraced him, and he gave America the finger and embraced every communist he could. A petty sad man.

Calypso Star dead. Calypso Louis to follow.

Part of my music course this week is Gershwin's
Porgy and Bess, and since I've avoided CRT in my classroom up until this point, we occasionally can have a reasoned discussion as to whether Gershwin was promoting racial stereotypes or positively presenting Gullah culture. Not surprisingly, Belafonte despised P&B as racist, while (surprisingly for me) Maya Angelou believed the opera to be an acceptable portrayal of a Black subculture.
Someday some student is going to get triggered by P&B or something else (such as contrasting Charles Ives and William Grant Still), and that will be the beginning of the end of my teaching career.

I have the Armstrong-Fitgerald recording of Porgy and Bess. I consider their rendition of ‘Summertime’ one of the best tracks ever put on record. I still get chills when Louis sings ‘... one of these mornings, you’re going to rise up singing...’ Good stuff...
