Can you share an example of a woke reaction to arguably the most recognizable / iconic album cover in the history of rock?
New Pink Floyd release
Pink Floyd is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the release of Dark Side of the Moon.
The forthcoming The Dark Side Of The Moon box set will be available through Warners on March 24. It includes a CD and gatefold vinyl of the newly remastered studio album and Blu-Ray and DVD audio featuring the original 5.1 mix and remastered stereo versions. The set also includes an additional new Blu-ray disc of a Dolby Atmos mix plus CD and LP of The Dark Side Of The Moon - Live At Wembley Empire Pool, London, 1974.
I hope the "remastered" versions are worthy improvements, but that isn't always the case these days.
The artwork is creating a stir among a small segment of "fans" who don't know what prisms and rainbows are... attacking or dis-owning the band for their "wokism". Can't make this stuff up, sadly.

I have always thought that "woke" people were incredibly superficial and dumb. I read MWINKC's link. I now think they are stupid beyond belief. The new album's logo is but a variation of the original - showing the breakup of light in a prism. Back when the original album cover was produced in the very early 1970's, I don't think that the term LBGTQ even existed or that the symbol for gay persons was a rainbow (which itself is the breakup of light through the prism of the atmosphere after a rain). While Dark Side of the Moon is great, my favorite Pink Floyd album is "Wish You Were Here" which I wish had its own anniversary edition. |
@macg19 I saw quite a few comments on Twitter from the usual 'crowd' complaining and throwing hissy fits stating that the prism 'rainbow' was supporting gay rights. The album sleeve has the prism colors in the zero part of '50'. It's really sad. |
