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.”

Should Classic Rock Songs Be Toppled Like Confederate Statues?

Not to worry, American Rock will live on in freedom in former Soviet Romania:

The list of possibilities for “trigger warnings” and outright censorship is near endless.

Brown Sugar has already been canceled. Can’t wait till they go after White Room from Clapton.

“RAM JAM — Black Betty”

Love that song. Too short in my opinion.

The drivers of Rock and Roll’s popularity was: going against the norm; youthful exuberance; and young love.

So naturally, the people who think they’re in control want to kill that vibe.

Guess what, that which you don’t kill only grows stronger, b!tc#.

I don’t care what people say, Rock and Roll is here to stay.

Not to mention the lifestyles

Start with Lori Mattix and Sable Starr

People were not as crazy about age of consent then

Today which is paradoxical in our corrupt world

Fembots and moralists have made statutory rape a minefield for teen boys

Consent and majority age are now the same essentially ...

When Jimmy Page and Todd Rungren were deflowering little strumpets the consent age was mid teens at most yet majority age for everything but the draft was 21

Man you can have a field day with how many 13-16 year old groupies were sexually exploited by 18-25 year old Rock Gods ....

I think Mattix ....who was lovely...lived with Page mid teens

Blind Willie McTell’s “A to Z Blues” makes gangsta rappers sound like Barry Manilow by comparison. Lyrically, at least. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wutPsl41saE

Countless examples among the Delta bluesmen. Of course all POC music is exempt from the wokesters’ cancel wrath.

Still remember a Chicago dj did a take on that song with “Richard Nixon” doing that line. Very funny.
