Good article. I cringed at the writer’s PC line about Dean’s crack being “homophobic”, but overall it was a neat bit of Stones’ history. Big fan of them and of Dean-o.
Yeah, we make fun of Dean Martin and his reaction to the Rolling Stones, but I’m sitting here looking at an America where crosses are removed from military tents in Afghanistan but gay pride flags fly over our bases there, where we’ve become too PC to speak freely to each other, where professional activist tramps demand that we foot the bill for their collegiate recreational sex, and a desire to be seen as racially enlightened has brought us this anti-American charlatan in the White House, and I wonder if Martin was so wrong to shudder at one sign of the change that was coming.
