Toby Keith died yesterday! Of stomach cancer so it was probably extremely painful! Why is this something to be happy about? TK was one of the main faces of the post-9/11 country music shift to nationalism, bootlicking, republican Jesus, and songs about mindless consumption of beer/trucks/women. He was the LOUDEST voice in the mainstream country music scene of the 00s, shilling for corporate interests, war, and the police state. His songs dipped with racism(beer for my horses was practically a call to action for lynchings), jingoism(Courtesy of the Red White and Blue, American Soldier, etc), and mindless toeing of the GOP and corporate line (American Ride). His era furthered the gentrification of the "rural working class aesthetic" that had begun during the "Hat Act" era of the 90s and accelerated the the identity politics of big trucks, blaming minorities for societal issues, and general xenophobia and bigotry. I am generally not one to wish suffering on others and his death does not do anything to solve the issues he helped create but at least he's dead and it was probably excruciating.

My radio just told me that the second actor behind one of my oldest OTPs died last week, of cancer, just like the first one in 2016.

We all sort of agreed that the world took a wrong turn from the death of David Bowie onwards. Can we please return to "normal" now that Cellier and Yonoi are back together in the afterlife?

I'm making a playlist.-

I was more heartbroken when Bowie died compared to when the Queen died tbh

Norman Lear, the genius who completely revolutionised American comedy in the 1970s, has passed away at 101 years of age.

It is impossible to explain just how much Lear changed the face of television forever.

From Variety:

‘Lear’s shows were the first to address the serious political, cultural and social flashpoints of the day – racism, abortion, homosexuality, the Vietnam war — by working pointed new wrinkles into the standard domestic comedy formula. No subject was taboo: Two 1977 episodes of “All in the Family” revolved around the attempted rape of lead character Archie Bunker’s wife Edith.

Their fresh outrageousness turned them into huge ratings successes: For a time, “Family” and “Sanford,” based around a Los Angeles Black family, ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the country. “All in the Family” itself accounted for no less than six spin-offs. “Family” was also honored with four Emmys in 1971-73 and a 1977 Peabody Award for Lear, “for giving us comedy with a social conscience.” (He received a second Peabody in 2016 for his career achievements.)’

Norman Lear, thank you for everything you’ve done. RIP.

Rest in peace Atsushi Sakurai. You will forever be missed. You were a huge inspiration to me through my journey of writing songs. You were taken too soon but your music left behind sound that can never be replicated. Rest easy.
