I just logged on to post the same thing. This has gotten re-goddamn-diculous.

...and I think the first time trollinlife and I have ever agreed on this forum.

They have not been relevant in country music for years and they are releasing a new song and trying to gain some free publicity for it since radio and fans turned their backs on them. It won't work.

In other news, Barry White will now be known as just "Barry", Betty White will now just be known as "Betty".

Black Water by the Doobie Brothers will just be known as "Water".

Ram Jam will have to change the title of their 1977 hit “Black Betty” to just “Betty”. In 1966 Los Bravos had a hit with “Black Is Black” now the title will have to be “Is”.

"Black And White" by Three Dog Night will just be "And", and most of the lyrics will be gone.

And the classic "Bye Bye Blackbird" will just be known as "Bye Bye Bird".

"Say It Loud, I'm Black And I'm Proud", by James Brown will just be "Say It Loud, I'm And I'm Proud". BTW, James Brown is likely spinning in his grave about all this.

I concur. There was a fellow on the Guy Dulldon show this afternoon claiming they needed to rename the Masters Golf Tournament because the word Masters had slave owner overtones.

It's insane.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

None other than our very own Rob Parker wants to have it renamed. Please do note that for the first 5 years it was called the Augusta National Invitational and the guy who started it resisted the name Masters until relenting in year 6.

Oregon and Oregon State have always called their football game the "Civil War". They have both agreed to drop that now.

RE-GODDAMN-DICULOUS!

I have a friend that is a retired Master Sargent. One of the best soldiers I know.

I'm pretty sure he's not going to get rid of the Masters part even though he's black.

Someone should look up what it means to become a Master in your profession. Something Wob Parker has no chance of attaining.

AC/DC will have to change “Back In Black” to “Back In”. Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” to just “Dog”. Boy that’s just going to screw everything up.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'”

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”
