It irritates me now when I listen to a Bob Segar classic that I really liked back in the day. 'Turn the Page' orginal lyrics included:

Well, you walk into a restaurant all strung-out from the road

And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold

You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode

Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can

All the same old clichés, is it woman, is it man?

And you always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand

"Is it man" is now "Is it Dan" in that iconic verse. It drives me nuts as it doesnt even make sense why they would change it. The song is about a rock performer (apparently with long hair) on the road feeling like he's being judged as a hippie by apparently short haired rural Americans. It has nothing to fags or denigration of women or anything else the woke crowd could possibly find offensive!

Wow, I finally got that off my chest.

Then LOLA by The Kinks will surely drive them crazy.
