Many of us have wondered what might turn out to be the spark that sets off the powder keg of violent uprising once and for all, provoking Real Americans to take up arms at last against oppression and tyranny after having endured “a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object” far lengthier and more onerous than that which goaded the Founders to outright revolution. Speaking strictly for myself, my personal line in the sand has now been crossed. Flung down and danced upon, more like.
New York Times Thought Police Ask: Should Classic Rock Songs Be Toppled Like Confederate Statues?
Considering that I don’t think the history of the Confederacy should be erased by violent mobs of dull-witted ignorami either, my answer can only be a resounding NO, followed by a hearty Go fuck yourself until you fall over dead from the strain, pusbucket.
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.”
Other rock singers ripe for cancellation include Eric Clapton, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and even Elvis Presley.
Take down my shootin’ arn from over yon mantlepiece, Maw, it’s time to go a-huntin’ liberal shitweasels. Season’s open on the confusticatin’ l’il varmints, and t’ain’t no bag limit neither.
Jennifer Finney Boylan, who is a male-to-female transgender,
*GROAN*
laid out the case in the op-ed titled “Should Classic Rock Songs Be Toppled Like Confederate Statues?”
“As we take another look at the sins of our historical figures, we’ve also had to take a hard look at our more immediate past and present, including the behavior of the creators of pop culture,” Boylan wrote. “That reassessment extends now to the people who wrote some of our best-loved songs.”
Chief among the candidates for cancellation is “American Pie,” the 1971 classic song by Don McLean. Boylan cited past allegations of domestic violence made against McLean as justification for the song’s cancellation.
“I want to live in a world where I can be moved by art and music and literature without having to come up with elaborate apologies for that work or for its creators,” the columnist wrote.
Good for you. Me, I want to live in a world where all the rivers are of the Willie Nelson “take my mind” sort; where the women are all gorgeous, willing, and utterly incapable of resisting my unique charms; where demented freaks such as yourself are mostly ignored as the aberrant head-cases they truly are, rather than kowtowed to and lionized as “brave,” admirable, and praiseworthy; and above all, where I will be forever thirty-five, handsome, strong, wise, rich, and shockingly well-hung.
Now let’s both shit in the other hand and see which one gets full the quickest, dipshit.
The op-ed also cited the Rolling Stones’ “Brown Sugar,” saying the group’s recent decision to remove the song from its U.S. tour set may be insufficient.
“If the Stones don’t know why the song has to go, does simply removing it from their tour sheet go far enough?” Boylan wrote.
They never should’ve given in to mewling neurotics like you in the first place, and will live to greatly rue the mistake. Q: Who, exactly, gives a flying fuck at a plate glass window what you think goes “far enough” anyhow? You seem to believe that the answer is some number exceeding that which can be counted on the fingers of one hand. I’m supremely confident that you are in error, which must surely be a familiar place for you to be in.
The columnist also put Eric Clapton in the cancel mob’s cross hairs by accusing the rocker of making “racist rants” and of engaging in “anti-vaccination activism.”
“It’s hard to explain why younger versions of ourselves ever thought they were OK in the first place,” Boylan wrote.
It’s a lot harder to explain why the fuck you’re still talking.
“Maybe reconsidering those songs, and their artists, can inspire us to think about the future and how to bring about a world that is more inclusive and more just.”
And right there it is, folks: the pluperfect confirmation that sane, normal Americans must always remember the simple fact that obnoxious, mentally-ill Leftist shitwits like this will never stop, never be satisfied, and never just fuck off and go away. The world will never, NOT EVER, be “inclusive” and “just” enough to suit them. They think themselves noble, selfless, and exalted by willingly accepting responsibility for an unachievable and never-ending task. Verily, the shitlib’s work is never done…which is why you unevolved Dirt People must either get on board the PC train or be run over and mulched under its steel wheels.
Which means, in turn, that always and forever they will come back again and again for another bite at the apple. To cede a single inch of ground to them in the hope they might finally be persuaded to leave us alone is death. Get it through your heads and don’t ever forget it: They are relentless. They are insatiable. They are obssessive and single-minded. They are batshit insane. And sooner or later, no matter who you are or what you’re into, they’ll get around to something you DO care about.

Without real leaders, I don’t think the right will ever rise.
If Donald J. Trump had actually been fomenting a real insurrection on January 6th, and 200,000 armed conservatives had descended on D.C. and invaded the Capital intent on draining the Augean stables, that might have done it. And would have likely caused several hundred legislator slots to open up.
But I doubt Trump ever even thought of such a thing, nor did the notion cross the minds of those in the crowds. Had it done so, a lot more than an unarmed white female Air Force retiree would have gotten into the forever box.
Had Trump simply said, “They are stealing your country. Go get them!”, something might have been accomplished on the 6th. It wouldn’t have taken 200,000, either. There were 400,000 there. Had 10% of that crowd gone with bad intentions, we would be a far different country right now.
As usual, the left wants to destroy art that is far beyond anything they could create themselves. They seek to destroy anything good and beautiful, and to replace it with ugliness or even nothing at all.
Their allies of convenience, the Muslims, are the same way.
I look forward to the day when Maoist and Stalinist “art”, with people in Pajama Suits singjng the praises of the Revolution in Faux Martial Cadences while being bland, shadowy, pathetic non-melodic ghosts of anything Sousa would have produced.
Oh and 60’s Soviet architecture a la Bauhaus. Ugly doesn’t begin to describe it.
We don’t even get the sharp uniforms and other accoutrements of the Nazis.
Just Big Hats General Tinpot uniforms that make the wearer look pathetically like a 10 year old trying on Daddy’s clothes.
Yet nary a peep about Rap/Hip Hop, the likes of which could make many sixties rockers look like Mary Poppins in comparison.
Bye Bye Miss American Pie indeed.
Hmmm, ‘coming for my classic rock LP’s?’ Paraphrasing Charlton Heston, ‘from my cold, dead hands.’
It’s no mystery why Jerry Lee Lewis has to be cancelled. He didn’t get with his cousin until she was a teen. Unacceptable! Waiting that long is an affront to pedophiles everywhere!
You didn’t seriously think that they wouldn’t go after stuff like this too, did you?
