Well, my two cents.

Bryce Harper is skilled, but a loser on so many levels. You can't not know that. I'm waiting for him to grow up and mature. But it is painful to watch and listen to.

Walk up music is simply ridiculous. When I heard Chipper Jones walk up, I lost a lot of respect for him. Not that it matters to him. I can't go further into it, due to forum rules. But I think enough said there.

The music you listen to, the movies you watch, the places you go all point to who you are. That simple. It is the sum of how you live your life.

Finally, music is defined by the music, not the lyrics. But lyrics are constructed to fit the genre. Rap lyrics would never work in country music and vice-versa. Just my take on this discussion.

Can someone give me an example of a walk up song they were appalled with that wasn't but a black rapper? Are any of the people on this board aware of with the misogyny in some Steely Dan songs? Just wondering. Or in some country songs.

I could give you 50 classic rock songs that you've been listening to your whole life with terrible lyrics that you wouldn't bat an eye at if it wasn't sung by Ice T or Ice Cube.

Sorry Steely Dan never portrayed women in anywhere near the vulgar terms that are fashionable today in some rap lyrics. And if you are suggesting that it is somehow racist hypocrisy to object to some of the rap lyrics, well, we disagree.

Spiraling quickly.

[Snapolit1]

Rolling Stines misogyny? Would you like a few examples.

The Police?

John Lennon?

Jimi Hendrix?

I could give you a Gilbert O Sullivan song that you wouldn't believe in the misogyny scale. Still played on the radio today.

The discussion is about the lyrics of a particular song, not about a musician/group. You can like a musician/group, but not like one of his/their songs and you can like a song without liking the artist. And I understand what you are saying. There are certain songs that come on the radio that I object to the lyrics but like the musician, but I still change the station anyway. If you have no objection to the song in question, pull it up on Youtube and sit down with your kid(s) and listen to it as a family. Ask them what they think about it. No kids? Listen to it with your parents and ask them what they think about it. Let us know how it goes. And you slso need to read post #155 in this thread. If you want to continue the discussion, your full name really needs to be in your post.

"You're a bad dog, baby, but I still want you 'round." Haven't thought about that song in years .

Only sort of on topic...watched Bryce hit his 100 tonight. The grand slam bounced off the facing and landed less than 5 feet from me. I can see why Bryce rubs people the wrong way...but I like hearing what he has to say (even if I don't always agree)...and really do love watching him play.

You want to compare A Woman's Place with lyrics about bitches and hoes? OK.

...or, as one of Jim Carrey's alter-egos once famously said, 'Would it kill you to play a little Foghat?'

(Now, that's some walkup music!!)

Whatever his walk up song, it's working. The guy is on a monster tear right now.

His last six games:

.421 AVG (9 for 21), 6 runs scored, 5 home runs (2 grand slams), 15 RBI, 2 BB, 3 K. His slash line is .440/1.143/1.583.

The Bowman Chrome auto that I've got of his is going for $1,200 on Ebay. That's insane.

I just looked, it seems there are something like 358 different versions of his rookie card. And that's without counting 4 years of pre-rookies.
