Are musicians immune to cancel culture?

I think you know the qualifications a person needs to be immune.

Skin pigmentation plays a role here

"Conservatives" cancelled the frick out of the Dixie Chicks, so it seems not.

Dixie Chicks made up false outrage to get their name in the news

The name change comes ahead of the release of the group’s first album in 14 years, “Gaslighter,” due out on July 17.

I wasn’t listening to their shite music before they made asses of themselves.

Eazy E laid down the rule:

Ni**a say ni**a we cool but, cr***a say ni**a, ni**a nut the f*ck up.

Not all rappers do this, but a lot of it glorifies violence, drug use and treating woman like whores.

I'm not for censoring people, but kids grow up listening to that and wanting to live the thug life.

Comparing the cancel culture of the left and the right is completely disingenuous

Lots of bands have been "cancelled." It only resulted in bigger album sales though. I remember black churches destroying 2 Live Crew and NWA albums. Marilyn Manson and other rock acts have had large protests outside of their concerts. It doesn't work in music like it does in acting.

Axl was crucified for that song back in the day. The song itself was removed from all future copies of that album 20 years ago... What’s interesting about the song that most people miss is that it’s sung from 2 different perspectives. It’s sung from not only the point of view of a racist, but also from the point of view of a regular guy who wants no part of the racist. He’s just trying to make ends meet. That’s why the 3rd verse says “radicals and racists, don’t point your finger at me...” That being said, Axl completely failed to see that most people would not catch the nuances of the song. Instead all they heard was him dropping the n bomb and railing against immigrants and homosexuals.
