Would the Kinks, an old, old rock group from the 1970's be dissed, protested against, boycotted etc. for their famous song, Lola?
The song is about a guy dissing a transgender male while out going out drinking and then inviting he/she/it back to his place and saying the he/she/it just isn't for him?
You be the judge:
No matter what, it's still a great song.
The Las Vegas Badger is about politics, humor, sports, reality shows in Las Vegas, especially Pawn Stars and anything else interesting. While I live in Las Vegas, my heart is still in Wisconsin. Thanks for visiting the blog and feel free to browse the web site.
I never saw it that way at all. From the lyrics, it sounds like he fell for a drag queen, then shrugged and decided he was still interested, and went for it, but it doesn't mean he isn't "still a man." I suppose you could read the last part as him thinking he's better than Lola because the singer is not "confused" about his own sexuality, but I always thought it meant that fooling around with Lola didn't make the singer any less of a man, or mess with his own ideas of who he was.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what the song writer's real intentions were though. But for its day? I think even if there was some negativity there, this song was way ahead of its time.
