@bsimpson : Political leanings and Trump bashing really aren't necessary, especially in regard to the national anthem or a thread about music preferences. (And trust me, I'm no Trump fan.)
@bsimpson : Any racially intense, hatre-provoking music came as third.
Agreed. Gary Clark Jr who I admire greatly as a musician recently released a new album. He may be the most talented young artist out there right now. One of the first songs released on the album throws out the 'n' word repeatedly. He might be well meaning and it might even be socially appropriate and meaningful. It seems that the 'n' word is fine for black artists to use to express themselves and make money.....but I don't like it no matter who is saying it.
And sadly, the album just isn't very good.
