Much like "lol Pete Buttigieg said roads are racist, roads can't be racist," there's a kernel of truth here in the artificial dichotomy that record labels created between "rock and roll" and "rhythm and blues," but the person saying it is annoying, so no one's listening.

And country and rap.

There’s a lot of truth in this. To the chagrin of thieves like Elvis and Pat Boone

Roads aren't racist. Turn off CNN.

Well, country and rap are two very different genres. "Americana" is just laundered country, though.

Lizzo is a honeypot for complaints from the conservative demographic between young incels and racist Facebook uncles. Everyone else has the ability to ignore her. Except when you see her, because she’s fat.

Robert Moses designed the Long Island Parkways to have low overpasses so buses from the city couldn't clear them and bring black kids to the beach. Read a book.

I knew of Lizzo before she was famous because she used to do the "this is Minnesota Public Radio" read or whatever at the end of On Being. Then when she got famous, they started having someone else do it.

Robert Moses and his interest in making money on suburban development also happened to play a major role in the Dodgers walking away from the proposed new stadium in Brooklyn all the way out to Los Angeles.

The overpass thing is common knowledge in that somebody put it in a book and it became fact. It’s been debunked over & over.

Nowadays it’d probably get one of those special ‘fake but accurate’ fact-checks reserved for people like Buttigieg.

They're similar enough for us to have a country rap sub genre. I don't think you can like one and hate the other.

Quite a bit of the modern rap music is either autotuned or is just a bunch of mumbling around noticeable samples of old school R&B/Rock songs. Always seemed that rap is a bunch of young kids chasing women and country is the older dude that has the woman, kids, rent, and is trying to figure out how to keep all of it afloat.

Lizzo said that Hip Hop is dominant, but if you look at the types of music people actually pay to see you find the highest grossing tours are old school rock, pop, or country acts, much of the YouTube and tiktok crap the kids like has a very short shelf life, people with actual talent still rise up Irregardless of the genre.

Do find the whole Lizzo big girl thing interesting, see it happening on the local TV news here, guess the producer at Fox News better get a more robust catching couch.

Just ignore her

Nah, that shit's over. The right is done with that foolishness. Everything that idiots do now gets the full treatment.

That's great news for the left. That means they own you.

It's a battle now. Has been since The Hoax. The war of ideas is something the Left wants to tamp down with everything they have and on that that front, at least, the right is winning....so far.

Supreme Court fucked us pretty good on abortion. Be nice if Republicans could seize upon Biden's anti-unionism, but they won't.
