Well that sucks to hear. I hadn't seen those stories.

WAs hoping this bullshit wouldn't make its way to Rhody, but here we are. I guess it was inevitable. Interesting how people want to keep their kids "innocent" until they are adults...how the F are they going to function in a world they have no conception of?

Pro tip--if you need boxes, got to the liquor store. They have a ton of them always. And unlike the grocery store, the boxes won't be dirty from food.

Lock him up, as they say.

I think the only bands I saw there were the Ramones and Beastie Boys, both around 1992.

There were 10 poeople in my local store, that's about 9 more than there usually are when I go in there.

Yeah but he is woke for succumbing to pressure from a left wing political group. That’s a giant problem, isn’t it? I was told it was.

Anyway, the point it that he is long since dead. He has trusted his work to his estate. So any changes that come, come from "him" and his people and the changing times we live in.

Recent Broadway productions of Carousel and Porgy and Bess had rewrites to remove domestic violence and racial content. I'm sure the long-deceased authors would have said "bullshit!" as they would have a right to, but that is neither here not there. Do you want to let these shows remain current or do you want them to disappear into the dustbin of history?

I am not answering the question, I am asking it. There are infrequently easy answers when it comes to art. I have a film from 2007 that has explicit racial invective in it. I know I have to take it out, even if it completely makes sense for the charters and the story (neo Nazis...) because I know no one wants to hear people yelling the N word in a movie in '23.

So here we are in riding the crest of the wave in changing times trying to find a balance.

Dahl already changed his books. The Oompa Loompas were originally pygmies from "deepest and darkest Africa." He changed them in 1973, 9 years after Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was first published.

I stopped listening to both.

I like the Johnston one. Shrug.

Izumi is good, WAY better than anything I have had a Jacky's.

Was that really a question he answered? If so, amazing.

Did he say "wicked" at any point?

The taste test--https://www.foodbeast.com/news/clamdy-canes/

Yes.

Animal Boy is an awesome underrated album. Rock on.

Wrong song, my friend. That is Bonzo Goes to Bitburg that you are talking about.
