In the past, daring to refer to a woman as a "body with a vagina" would have got you labelled a chauvinistic sex pest
Good to see we have moved on from that
I'm off to call my wife that and see how it goes

Surprisingly, she does not like it.
She is so bigoted sometimes

so, the Rolling Stones will no longer play "Brown Sugar" live.
we've effectively reached a point where we are so fucking dumb, that unless a piece of art says explicitly "this bad thing is bad" or "this other thing is actually good" in very basic words, then it is instantly assumed to be glorifying/denigrating said thing.
Dave Chappelle and Netflix are currently working their way through this (actually Netflix are, Dave doesn't give a fuck) because, again, he did not use small, simple enough words.

I’m amazed people would go and watch the Rolling Stones play anything live given how past their use by date they are.

Absolutely right. They’re idiots. But if I’m fair and honest, if Bill Shatner or Marlon Brando (up there in heaven) were fat 80s and selling tickets for a hundred bucks to watch them fart in a bag, I’d do it. I say this as somebody who paid to see the Sex Pistols on their 2nd-comeback tour (it only cost $10, God love them) and Miles Davis ($150) on his last tour, very ancient people and pale shadows of their former artiste selves, and I don’t regret a dime, they were amazing and made me feel good about seeing them. That makes me an idiot. A stupid grinning idiot.
Adding, I was dragged to a Stones concert circa 1990, free ticket, limo ride, champagne, all gratis. And I really didn’t want to go. I’d seen them 8 times prior, over decades, and the last couple decades made me grimace, so I didn’t want to go. But shit, it’s all comped, I’ll go. So my expectations were low, in the toilet. Then they busted out “Bitch” as their opener and my head exploded, it was fuckin’amazing, one of the best openers of any concert I ever attended. But that was it. The rest of the show was the standards, and robotic at that, a dud, big disappointment. But that opener was so strong, the show might have been worth it, just for one song. Sometimes that’s all you can ask for in life. That was the last time I saw them. And I really do miss Charlie.

I’d go if it was free too.

@mn5 really living up to the stereotypes of your lineage huh.
If it was free you would go to see a band that you have repeatedly rubbished
I thought we'd had a debate about the Brown Sugar thing on another thread. Yeah the lyrics are far from woke - rape, slavery etc but far out - it's rock and roll FFS and only the truly deluded could imagine the Stones were ever advocating such behaviour or that any sane person would feel the need to replicate it.
Fuck people are moronic.
Now where's that Mars bar?

They’re ok, they’re not terrible but in true fern fashion if you don’t worship something you’re “rubbishing” them instead apparently.
On the subject though, it’s about time someone cancelled “Delilah” by Tom Jones. Check out the lyrics of that song !!!

And that’s just for starters
Hundreds if not thousands of songs won’t pass the ‘Brown Sugar’ test

Saw Dave Chappelle's new special last night! Brilliant!

Missed the other thread, so don’t know if it was mentioned, but Bob Dylan covers Brown Sugar live. He sacrifices one of his own to play it, and if it’s okay with Bob then Jagger should tell everybody else to shove it. But maybe the woke peer pressure and the knighthood title of “Sir” in front of his name has completely emasculated him.

@kid-chocolate according to Craig Ferguson Keith is the real driver behind the band, if so, perhaps he is the woke one. Or maybe he is just trying to get it accepted again:

Bob Dylan singing the Rolling Stones……
That’s up there with Ed Sheeran.
