New York Times Thought Police Ask: Should Classic Rock Songs Be Toppled Like Confederate Statues?
Breitbart ^ | 4 Nov 2021 | DAVID NG

Hide your classic rock LP’s. The thought police at the New York Times are coming for them.

The New York Times opinion section has run a column advocating for classic rock songs like Don McLean’s “American Pie” to be reconsidered and maybe even “toppled” like historic Confederate statues, arguing that reevaluating beloved songs will help create a world that is “inclusive and more just.”

When I saw the author of the commentary post about doing it on Twitter a few days ago, boy did she get it from other Twitter users. This is flat-out censorship approved by Joseph Goebbels, in my humble opinion. 😲😠👎🏻😒😑🙄

Rock songs are slave songs.

I guess the op-ed “intel-asset” didn’t realize it.

Chuck Berry was convicted of drilling a hole in ladies room stalls and peeking as well as driving minors across interstate lines for lascivious purposes. Do we cancel his classics for his pervy lifestyle when he was younger? Maybe it was an inspiration for Long Tall Sally and Maybellene. Definitely not Johnny B Goode. So, I have mixed feelings about it.

Good lefties. Keep it up. Keep pushing your degenerate agenda.

A repudiation of crap like this is exactly how Republicans won recent elections.

What about “Under My Thumb” by The Rolling Stones?

The feminists must really hate THAT one!

“More Than A Feeling” by Boston?

My first thought was, “If Mary Ann is walking away, I’ll just date Ginger.”

Already begun. The Stones have dropped “Brown Sugar” from their set list after performing it for 50 years.

Given the current leftist strategy of doubling down on their offensive stupidity, the thought police should absolutely go for it.

Oh just in time to begin the assault on all vintage (1940-1950) Christmas season songs. Baby its Cold outside being the first they go after.

Years ago I read an article in a nutshell stated that out the most frequently played songs at proms and weddings, most were from the 70s and 80s. Not much newer stuff.

Gonna have to cancel Kung Fu Fighting

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing

They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It’s an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

Could we please topple the NYTimes for its knowing, Pulitzer-winning coverup of Stalin’s murderous crimes throughout his regime?

You didn’t think they would stop after all the statues were destroyed, did you? Now it’s rock songs. What’s next? The national anthem? (yes). The flag? (yes). Your money? (yes) Your guns? (yes) Your children? (yes).
