Baroque it up a bit and call it “Baby Got Bach”

This isn’t satire?

Vulgar and disrespectful to women.

Not quite on the same level as David Gilmour with the London Symphony Orchestra:

Let's Get Metaphysical

I'm curious about your response to my post which is not meant to be negative to you. I simply don't understand your pov.

I had already had the displeasure of seeing this, looks like an effort “expand” to new audiences. No thank you!

It’s pop music, Red. Not a hymn. Everyone I saw on the video looked like an adult, and if it was so degrading to women why were they turning the women away from the stage? Very classy, well-dressed women from the video I watched. Just a lot of people cutting loose and having fun, including the orchestra!

puritans were a tiny, tiny minority of European society. Most people were not puritanical in England, Europe, and certainly not the rest of the word.

Puritans were quite influential in England during the seventeenth century, especially during Oliver Cromwell's republic of 1649-1660. The Huguenots, their Calvinist counterparts in France, were also influential, as were Calvinist sects in Scotland, Switzerland and Germany.

"But puritans were a tiny, tiny minority of European society. Most people were not puritanical in England, Europe, and certainly not the rest of the word."

See the English Civil War. Granted, northern European Protestants (from Huguenot locales in France, northward) eventually became tired of fighting in Europe and moved to America. In early and revolutionary America, they were the majority by far.

In 1785, a Catholic bishop named John Carroll reported on the state of Catholicism and numbered Catholics in America then at about 25,000. That was about 6/10ths of a percent (0.6%) of the population of the thirteen original colonies in 1790 (about 25,000 out of 3,939,000).

http://www.census.gov/prod/www/decennial.html#y1790

"Once large scale immigration began, in the 19th century, and population growth exploded, it was over. A minority belief system cannot keep hold on a nation this big, even if your wall existed."

True, and that trend led to what we see in politics, business and academia in America today.

Such cavalier trends tend to be straightened out once in a while. Idolatrous empires were built, somewhat, over long periods of time punctuated by repeated depositions that happened within days, each, and eventually, final depositions. It appears that cheerleaders for such empires have been unopposed at setting themselves up as imposters of moral authority since about 722 BCE. Ethnic vestiges continue to exaggerate vainglories of those fluctuating empires in ongoing revisions.

See the changes coming in our countries of northwestern culture, momentarily usurped again—changes to possibly spread throughout the world. Many folks, currently influential at various levels, are very afraid of those possible changes ahead. It shows in hysterical, licentious outbursts in contemporary political speech and entertainment. In sum, they’re shrieking about the end of the world (”as seen on TV”), when they only feel the end of their kind of world (see bouncy empires) coming and vainly lack the ability to analyze the situation honestly.

Good Lord - I heard the Seattle Symphony do their first ever performance of Walton’s “Belshazzar’s Feast” back in probably 1967, when a quarter of the audience got up and walked - hope at least that many left this performance.....

I was referring to the European foreign culture that has already taken over during the past few decades in politics, business and academia. It flowed into the northeast, and much of it hopped over to California. Although some descendants of those folks are ingenuous, the future will be built by the kind of people who brought more encouragement toward ingenuity to early America.

My point is that we should all try to be Americans like those who founded our nation instead of turning it into some extension of southern European or associated Balkan culture. Slavery is not suitable for us. Assimilate before leading.

I am very familiar with this song, as I was teaching teens when this came out and had teenagers of my own. It is, IMO, a disgusting, disrespectful song. As for the women putting themselves up on stage to be degraded, well, that seems to be a big trend these days.

I am, BTW, a boomer lady who had a passion for what we called rock ‘n’ roll in her teens and who has always loved to dance to popular tunes. But I see a difference between having fun dancing and being suggestive and profane in one’s movements.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

Guess it is the Libertarian in me. The guy who is doing the womanizing is surrounded by women who are more than happy, for free, to shake their butt. If the guy singing and the rump shakers are having fun, who is to say it is wrong? He clearly says he doesn’t touch. He isn’t going around copping a feel.
