Sexist, Racist, KKK! Cancel Music Right Away!
All musicians, at least the good ones, are degenerate and it’s time to cancel them all. Music is rife with sex, drugs, and other types of fast living.

In an opinion article at The New York Times, Jennifer Finney Boylan asks, “Should Classic Rock Songs Be Toppled Like Confederate Statues?” Maybe it was the editor who came up with the headline, as Boylan focuses mostly on Don McLean with a brief mention of the Rolling Stones and a few others. Regardless of who did, however, the Gray Lady has since updated the headline to the less inflammatory, “Can We Separate the Art From the Artist?” which is far too anodyne for so serious a topic.
As to the artists in question, McLean is personally problematic, as are Johnny Cash, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Eric Clapton, Boylan writes. The Stones are insufficiently apologetic about their song “Brown Sugar,” which they have stopped performing, he adds.
Boylan’s arguments are well and good, but they don’t go far enough. All musicians — at least the good ones — are degenerate and it’s time to cancel them all.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, despite not living in River City, enjoyed billiards. He also plagiarized some of his music from a black man. Richard Wagner was likely an antisemite and Adolf Hitler’s favorite composer. Lead Belly tried to kill a guy.
