Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

As they used to say on The Hit Parade TV show: #1 with a bullet

Following its release Friday, “Fake Woke” soared to #1 on the US iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap Song Sales Chart. It is concurrently up to #2 on the all-genre listing.

I’m not one who would normally listen to this genre but I found this worth sharing.

Watch and Listen

Since "wokeness" is inherently fake, is "fake woke" genuine?

I know I'm not the intended audience but it does take me back to the antiwar songs of the late 60s; The Who, Credence, Dylan, Buffalo Springfield........... War, what is it good for?, Eve of Destruction..... How much do you think the music influenced the movement and the unrest?

Not appearing in any search results anywhere (news, google, youtube). Wonder why...

Which means that if you want to get it out, send it to everyone you know and post it on Facebook. I just posted it and I'm interested to see how long it will take them to remove it.

I fear that in the not too distant future, posting something like this will get you a visit from the Ministry of Truth and a trip to a re-education camp.

Not a fan of the packaging, but the message is genuine.

Like just about everyone my age who isn't "woke" or pretending to be "woke," this is not a genre I would typically listen to any longer than it took to click it shut, turn it off, or change the station.

But the lyrics are actually understandable, and refreshingly honest. I wish the artist great success, but the more attention this gets, the more friction he's going to have with his career. Fortunately, he seems willing to roll the dice and see what happens.
