Is this GBOA music video racist?
(19th post)
Is this GBOA music video racist? from a thread of mine in another forum: Is this GBOA music video racist? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaye_Bykers_on_Acid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grebo_(music) (source-of-sorts) https://8ch.net/liberty/res/82329.html https://media.8ch.net/file_store/caf...486debf89a.png I tend to like when they put horns into punk music, but still, the blackface and wigs. somewhat off-topic: same song, seriously funkified: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Budd_Dwyer Quote:

U2 was also considered post-punk. |

Somewhat harsh and not too accurate, but Johnny Lydon is a has-been Angeleno whose musical career essentially petered out sometime in the mid-1980s. Bauhaus/Tones-on-Tails/Love-and-Rockets/Peter-Murphy had a few good songs, but some of that music hasn't aged that well either. I liked Bela Logosi's Dead for several weeks, maybe a few months, and tried a little to like it a few years after that because we all try to be hipsters, I suppose. U2 started in a small Vatican-dominated country to become one of the most successful bands, perhaps the most successful band, in history. For all the songs I like of the aforementioned, I might name twice as many U2 songs I like (though some are dependent on the mood). The poetry of Bono's lyrics compares with Cohen or Dylan, while PiLs? "I could be wrong, I could be right. I could be black, I could be white." lame. "Sleep comes like a drug, in God's Country." "Don't believe in excess, success is to give. Don't believe in riches, but you should see where I live." "Don't believe in the 60s or the Golden Age of Pop, you glorify the past when your future's dried up." "Death Rock" sounds like a possible throwaway phrase by a critic maybe living in the 1960s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathrock Quote:

A comparison could be interesting. You know, to see if there's merit in suggesting U2 has had great lyrics comparatively. You know, instead of a kneejerk dismissal.

He calls Bono "Bozo." Such a comedian. He should do spoken word—it seems that HR has found it a decent source of income since he too hasn't done much (good) music these past 20-25 years. He could be wrong, but then again, ............ he could be right. He could be black, but he could be white. or He could be white, but he could be black. Anger is an energy—save maybe for flagging music careers. Could Bono win a stare fight against him? Quote:
About 4 years after the Filthy Lucre tour: Didn't the Sex Pistols have a song called New York City? Was it consoling after 911? "In New York I lost it all. to you and your vices. Still I'm staying on and figure out, my mid-life crises." "See the sun rise over her skin. Don't change it. See the sun rise over her skin. Dawn changes everything. Everything." |

TIL that you're supposed to read PIL's lyrics instead of listening to their music. I've been doing it wrong this whole time, I want a refund on the show I went to.
