Interesting. Go read, please. :D
Apparently, there was a music awards event this past weekend, and someone thought it would be “edgy” and “transgressive” and shock the ‘danes if people dressed up as Old Scratch and she-devils and did something.

We boomers get blamed for everything, but no one remembers that we invented Acid Rock and Heavy Metal. Absent those foundations, most of today’s gazillion sub-genres might not exist. And no one would know who Ozzy is. 🤷🏻♂️😆
I saw a photoclip of that, wanted to laugh myself sick!
I think I prefer one Iowahawk did a year or three back, though– has I think one of the Rolling Stones autographing a very pretty young lady’s, ah, collar bone, and it’s labeled “(singer) and someone’s grandma.”
