One has to wonder whether the Woke Band Formerly Known as Lady Antebellum has decided to become an avante-garde performance artist troupe rather than an actual country-music band. First the Nashville-based group tried to change its name and claim that it had no idea about the baggage around the word “antebellum,†a laughable premise in itself. Then it claimed the name Lady A, only to discover that an African-American blues singer had used that for years, who then accused the band of exercising its “white privilege†in not even bothering to check whether the name was available.And just when you thought the story couldn’t get any better, the lawsuit dropped. No, Anita “Lady A†White didn’t sue Lady Antebellum — the band is suing her to get control of the name, all in service of paying homage to Black Lives Matter. Because nothing says “woke†like appropriating a black woman’s stage name and then suing her to steal it for good, right?
