Sexist frontmen
It's a classic! I heard it live 2002
International disaster, gonna be a blaster
Gonna rearrange our lives
International disaster, send for the master
Don't wait to see the white of his eyes
International disaster, international disaster
Price of silver droppin' so do yer Christmas shopping
Before you lose the chance to score (Pembroke)

Zappa collects underpants for a quilt. It was made. Colorado quilter made it out of the unwashed panties.

Re: Sexist frontmen
They all had groupies, you can't blame them for being unable to fend them off.

Robert PlantWith songs we praise a happy landing
On yet another virgin shore
Escape the old world
Embrace the new world
Out here the immigrant takes all
Across the plains and over mountains
Put plight to all who came before
They’re barely human
It’s time to move them
To let them kneel before the sword
Uneducate the noble savage
The great white father’s word is law
Subjugate them
To liberate them
The poison pen, the bloody sword
New World

If you detect sexism in this song, you have misread it in a most spectacular way.DRSB wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 6:09 amRobert PlantWith songs we praise a happy landing

"New World" is a comment on a recent history of conquest and submission. - Robert Plant
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould
Re: Sexist frontmen
May be. White male supremacy is always sexist.
Anyway, lyrics are about a lyrical hero, not about the singer. In literature you do not equate the lyrical hero of a poem to the poet.
The private life of a person says more about who they are. Look at what they do, not at what they say or sing.

Re: Sexist frontmen
Oh in that case I apologise for misunderstanding you. I was under the obviously mistaken impression that you cited the song's lyrics as an example of sexism.

Nope, this would be Socialist Realism.

Re: Sexist frontmen
I still think you cannot judge a singer by his lyrics anymore than you can judge an actor by his roles. You don't want to send Nick Cave behind bars for the Murder Ballads!

Re: Sexist frontmen
But what if they wear a codpiece on stage? is it only to go with the lyrics?

On stage they are impersonating some stage persona.
