Today in Cultural Appropriation

And do we ever get the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, etc.?

A ton of sheer awesomeness resulted from the merger of white people with black music. Doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.

 

Geez, it’s almost as if there are nuances to this that are worth discussing.

 

That part of Rick’s post was risible.

 

That merger of styles eventually led to the likes of Justin Beiber...

 

The egregious case of appropriation in the early days was Pat Boone doing horrid, sanitized versions of black artists' songs.

 

Holy hell, we have a winner.

I take back every word I've said prior. CA is evil.

 

He didn’t appropriate those songs, he killed them. Strangled and then Burned the dead corpses of those songs.

 

More of a hostile takeover than a "merger."

 

That these bands were British alters the calculus somewhat, right?

 

Holy Hell, I was kinda waiting for a g-g-g-groin injury, then they broke out the word. Wonder if anyone told them.

 

I just googled it because I couldn't believe it was real. And appears it is not:
