True story: I’d never even heard the song “Baby, It’s Cold
Outside” until I saw it performed on “Glee” a few years ago. But I enjoyed the
back-and-forth banter, so when it came on the radio, I listened.
When the stories broke about the large number of women being
drugged and raped by celebrities, I thought that the line, “Say, what’s in this
drink?”was unfortunate. However, not being a stranger to nuance, I knew that it was
just one more piece of banter. (Anybody who can say, “My maiden aunt’s mind is
vicious” in a clear voice is not under the influence of anything.)
Now the song has been banned from radio stations. That seems
a little tone-deaf to me.
Can we all recover our equilibrium?
