Don’t take the bait…
Colonel Flagg was right about Reader’s Digest.
I read the entire slide show. And laughed the entire time. This moron journalist needs to find more interesting things (maybe something not involving his hatred of the white man) to write about.
What about “In the ghetto”?

Nope, no racism there, no sirreeee. Of course if Metallica or Guns and Roses had made a song denigrating black girls, they'd be ineligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they'd be blacklisted from the music industry, their music would have been boycotted, etc. Not Cube. Not only is he in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, “forget the night
Live with us in forests of azure
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned, immaculate
The bastards are intent to rewrite history.
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Lay down that boogie
And play that funky music ‘til you die.”
Eenie,meenie, mienie, moe…
I submit for your listening pleasure.....

What?! No “Speedy Gonzales”?
Also, when he says Bowie should have left out the colonial references . . . why? That song made #1? Bowie didn’t have a lot of #1s. (Fame, Let’s Dance, what else?)
“No refuge could save the hireling and slave from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave.”
That guy must be ignorant. The line was not about black slaves, it was a dig at the British.
11?
Hell, the Rolling Stones have 15. At least.

I also knew the that the writer of the song, “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” was Canadian and I still like it.
This guy is going to freak out when he discovers David Allan Coe
“...She says, “Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side”
Said, “Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side”
And the colored girls go
“Doo do doo do doo do do doo...”
Well let me take a break from listening to Hoyt Axton

And skip over Johnny Horton

Readers digest has become another modernist trashcan... or why nobody reads it anymore.
