Boylan urged listeners to scrap iconic artists and songs, including Don McLean&#8217;s &#8220;American Pie&#8221; and the Rolling Stones&#8217; &#8220;Brown Sugar,&#8221; if the artists have personal flaws or their lyrics are not sufficiently &#8220;inclusive&#8221; or &#8220;just.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Boylan&#8217;s puritanical approach to popular culture comes as transgender people and activists have agitated for cancelling the comedian Dave Chappelle. In his recent standup special on Netflix, <em>The Closer<\/em>, Chappelle likened transgenderism to wearing blackface and said &#8220;gender is a fact.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Boylan said in the column that removing a work from an artist&#8217;s repertoire might not go far enough. In response to Keith Richards&#8217;s confusion about the Stones&#8217; recent decision to cut &#8220;Brown Sugar,&#8221; a song about slavery, from future performances, Boylan said: &#8220;If the Stones don\u2019t know why the song has to go, does simply removing it from their tour sheet go far enough?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Culture Columnist argues Don McLean, Rolling Stones should be assigned to ash heap of history  Josh Christenson \u2022 November 3, 2021 1:40 pm A New &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-962747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/962747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/190"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=962747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/962747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=962747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=962747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=962747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
