O/T When will all this crap end.

Totally agree CT but not sure that there is any such disapprobation (nice word!) of the elders for this for buying into olde content with so called outmoded thinking. Certainly not from me - I love many very un-pc songs and shows.

I think that the point is missed though that in most cases, it isn't any particular widespread outrage from the gen pub that causes any withdrawal of songs and TV shows from playlists - it's the companies themselves that are making a commercial decision to ensure that their brand appeals to a wider market. Don't understand that people get so outraged when private industries have a right to make their own commercial decisions - unless we want to get all Marxist on them and forcet hem to keep content in that they don't want.

My comments were more in response to John2, Raging, who seems to have gone all "us and them" about boomers/the MM majority in his posts recently. (I don't disagree with a lot of his underlying arguments, by the way; it's more the way he wants to paint a generation he has no experience of with such a broad brush ...)

I agree with you about private industry's fairly cynical approach to spreading their comfort blanket.

I also agree with the generality that we see each generation harrumphing at what it regards as its successor's poor choices. ("Call that music; it's; it's like a cat wailing" (The Beatles 1963) "What they need is a couple of years in the army. That'll sort em out!" etc etc etc) But it IS only a generality and plenty of our lot recognize and see the need for change...

Hmmm…john2 isn’t an “ us and them” type of person


More a “ me and me” type

I once worked for a woman called Mimi. It didn't end well.

Hiya CT. Agree with most of your content except the bit about the Beatles. They were generally accepted by three generations. The first artists in my memory to do so. Now if you had quoted the Stones, Kinks or The Who then I would agree

Fair point, Lincs!

If you ban a song, for what ever reasons, they just play it more, or sing, in this case. At the end of the day are we going to ban everything whats fiction?
So we're going to ban all the Cowboy films where they shoot the Indians and win, apart from Custer.?

Recently Spurs asked the crowd to stop sing a certain song.......they just sang it louder!! Yidd Army anyone?

[Lolmorgan]

Let’s just ban everything &start again because if you look long enough & dig deep enough they will find something wrong in everything.
