what i should be doing: my taxes. or baking cookies what i'm doing: putting together the beginnings of an essay (with citations!) covering how controversial subject matter of the musical hits of yesteryear are ignored or forgotten by the pearl clutchers of today

#ramblings #you know. the people that seem not to get what Springsteen's ''Born in the USA'' is ACTUALLY talking about #or seem to forget that songs like ''Lola'' have been on the radio since 1970 and done absolutely zero damage to anyone #(Lola is still a fav song of mine)#maybe its that i grew up with a parent who worked in radio and talked about lyric analysis all the time so i listen for meaning reflexively #but this subject has always both fascinated and enraged me #also for a more recent example #the ''what machine did you think they ere raging against? a toaster??'' thing
