I'm hearing Baby, It's Cold Outside again. #MeToo ended when Kobe Bryant got a televised funeral, and also when Kamala Harris accepted the Vice-Presidential nomination.

So, I guess both the Political climate and Covid may have ended some of the pettiness then?I'm hearing Baby, It's Cold Outside again. #MeToo ended when Kobe Bryant got a televised funeral, and also when Kamala Harris accepted the Vice-Presidential nomination.

Nah, we as a society just never really felt like caring about women's rights.
I am not so sure if I agree with that notion! Nonetheless, it was a bit far reaching to think, that the song had any extra connotations than at face value.Nah, we as a society just never really felt like caring about women's rights.
It's played on commercial classic rocker WPLR New Haven every holiday season. No bleeping of the word that makes most programmers squeamish either.The Pouges Fairytale song, I heard only on non-comm
playlist.
Magic will have a new midday voice sometime in January. The current jock who is based at Audacy's station in Las Vegas is signing off on Friday.
I forgot that Nancy Quill had retired. I did not realize that they were voice-tracking either. Not surprising at all though. At least Karen Blake is a mainstay! David O'Leary still doing mornings, and David Allen Boucher still doing nights as well!Magic will have a new midday voice sometime in January.

Not me. Give me a palm tree lit up with Christmas lights. Yet, I'm stuck here in New England. That one Christmas where we hit near 70° was a dream come true.Come on, everybody is dreaming of a white Christmas!
Regardless of the political stance on it, I always hated that song. Sad thing is that I called it "a date rapist anthem" 25 years ago. I only got off that soapbox when it became the flavor of the week for the college age "be offended about everything crowd" took notice. "Gosh you lips look delicious" said multiple times in the song made me think either he's trying to roofie her, or it's actually sung by Hannibal Lector. 🤣I'm hearing Baby, It's Cold Outside again. #MeToo ended when Kobe Bryant got a televised funeral, and also when Kamala Harris accepted the Vice-Presidential nomination.
Spend the evening with music presented by two of Boston's radio legends— Eric Jackson of GBH's Eric in the Evening will play some of his favorite holiday music beginning at 5 p.m. Then at 8 p.m., Oedipus, former program director at WBCN, will present his annual Christmas Eve With Oedipus show of rare and obscure Christmas songs, which he’s hosted for more than 40 years. Tune in GBH 89.7 or listen online!
I'm locked in.
Yes, I am only hearing what is being put over the intercom at restaurants myself.
I’ve heard the song on some stations (WWLI, WSRS and I think WKLB). It was played on some stations last year too. 2019 was the only year that it was truly blacklisted, it seems.Now, I thought that Baby, It's Cold Outside has been omitted from playlists for being deemed politically incorrect?
