It was years later when I realized what was going on. I was incredibly naive as a teenager. All the good Catholic school girls I knew were. And yet, we thought early Rock and Roll songs like "Work With Me, Annie", and "Sixty Minute Man" were just fine for jitterbugging in a lounge (no minimum age requirement in the ancient days), but we knew better than to buy the records to play at home.<br /><br />Yes, by all means, let's go back and clean up all the old songs.

Not to matter the promotion of the attitude among boys and men that leads to the feeling of entitlement that is behind rape and the cultural coercion on women (and boys for that matter) to be sexually available. <br /><br />The version with Mae West and Rock Hudson is downright surreal.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZUVP_nsRjwThe Thought Criminalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381376556757084468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-69921767423173008122016-12-21T10:54:25.074-06:002016-12-21T10:54:25.074-06:00Another excellent reason to keep any more elves fr...Another excellent reason to keep any more elves from crossing our border!rick allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612435616018593956noreply@blogger.com
