I have to admit I owned one of those Timely Schomburg books with a really racist cover. The Japanese had fangs and the black character.. well you know. Ultimately after a couple of years I decided I shouldn't keep it in my collection. Selling it for 2x what i paid helped that decision, of course.

Why can't America return to the good old days, where we had wholesome performers like GG Allin and Eazy E??

I was a teen listening to Guns & Roses and Metallica. G&R had an awful lot of drug glorification and misogynism. Metallica's earlier stuff had an awful lot of murder and mayhem in it. 

Motown music was radical for its time as well. And Sexual Healing was one by of the artists he cited too! Very risque for the time. Not WAP, but not far off.

Cardi B. Female rapper, and porn "star". Yes, this is what is celebrated in American culture today, while Dr. Seuss is censored and pulled from feebay listings, meanwhile "non-violent" cop-killer and "inoffensive" porn lyrics pull awards and sales all across America's decaying sprawling urban dystopia . 

 

I mean no offense when I say that when I read these posts, I mentally add "Rorschach's Journal:" before each one.

Yeah, no Motown wasn't "radical". Never was. They never needed a "clean" version of any song from Smokey or Stevie or Diana or or Aretha any other pop or R&B artist because none of them would ever think so low in the gutter for lyrics.

There has always been a few on the edge in all forms, but the vast vast majority of popular music in the 60s 70s and even into 80's was not a constant stream of racial and sexual obscenities like the majority of popular music is today.

I think this thread is about a bunch of adult white guys worried that their culture is being ruined because they can't celebrate racism via Dr. Suess books. 

Pretty offensive bringing race into it. Going to add an edit to ask specifically which posts you are referring to?

Is there the same uproar for wanting Songs of the South to be added to Disney Plus?

I think if E-bay "banned" sales of Song of the South I think we would be talking about that also.

Not "obscenities" but Carole King and others were talking about sex and had to disguise the lyrics to conceal the meaning...so you may not consider it obscene it was definitely on the edge and upsetting to the older generation
