Too Politically Correct? Classic Song Re-make Sparks Controversy
Have we gotten too politically correct in this country. If we want to be a kinder, more sensitive nation in 2020, I’m all for that. What I’m NOT ok with is going back in time when things were different and changing “classics” that didn’t intend a maliciousness that people are trying to read into them today.
At midnight last night, John Legend and Kelly Clarkson released a lyrical “hatchet job” of the classic “Baby It’s Cold Outside”!
Sharon Osbourne was among the many that share my view. Want to a create a #metoo sensitive song for our times? I say go for it with many blessings. Want to bastardize a classic to make your point? It’s lost on many. Comments are welcome.
