And there’s also people enslaved in different parts of the world making clothes, building cities, caring for children, even in Western countries, even in the U.S.

Nice strawman you’re trying to build there, but my comments are crystal clear in plain English.

Now you’re comparing Pat Boone to The Beach Boys? After mistakenly trying to call me out for comparing Harry Styles to The Beatles?

That’s the point. It’s about giving credit where and when it’s due.

You got on stage? I’ve seen her twice and NEVER got that kind of nerve up.

I was wondering how long Kesha was going to get the sympathy pass on her work.

And your quick to respond.

Are you seriously trying to claim that Brian Wilson and/or The Beach Boys didn’t make rock and roll music?

No, that’s YOUR definition. Not THE definition.

Totally agree.

Yes, I could see that. That would make sense.

And I notice you had nothing to say to the commenter who mentioned Brian Wilson.

WeWork had a billion dollar line of credit from Chinese investors and we’re watching them go down in flames as we speak.

They BECAME that, over TIME. That’s my point.

Telling them is useless.

Now try to imagine (I can tell empathy is very hard for you, even your user name gives that away) you work in a field that has a taboo to somebody out there, whether that be a meat butcher or a politician or a porn performer.

Let’s be a little fair: The outing of porn performers was happening before social media or online databases every existed. Letters sent anonymously, calls to child protective services or even their kid’s schools, etc.

Reynolds is trying to get media and blog and social media attention for being a contrarian after the love-fest victory run Farrow’s been doing.

Did he ever claim or present this book as anything but a real-life thriller about him getting a story out after being pressured and implicitly threatened not to?
