Has anyone asked for 1968's Academy Award for Best Picture winner "The Graduate" to give back the award yet? When that happens, I will know that Hollywood is serious about this "culture change".

Has anyone in Hollywood said they would not work with Roman Polanski or Woody Allen?

So there you go, a couple more examples of creepy/stalky songs.

Roy Orbision was singing about giving unwanted attention to some random woman on the street. No, most women do not want someone walking up to them, telling them how pretty they are, and asking them out. If you are in a bar, sure, maybe, depending on the situation, but not when you are walking down the street.

That Melissa Ethridge song... yeah, scary ex-girlfriend is right.

Since it sounds like the radio station reversed the ban on baby it's cold outside, it sounds like those who were offended by the song were outnumbered by those who were offended by those who were offended by the song.

I don't think the BICO issue is strictly about content, as it is about Christimas song content. I assume people aren't concerned with alternative radio as it plays crazy stuff all year long, just mainstream radio. (whatever that is these days)

My favorite song about jealousy/stalking is Every Breath You Take by the Police.

A song about why Santa didn't come to your house this year, because someone blasted him with a shotgun after he came down the chimney and buried him in the backyard. And that, little Johnny is why Santa didn't come this year. Now that's a good controversy.

There was a country song covred by Steve Earl, Randy Travis and several others called What Will You Do About Me. It was a pure stalker song not even pretending to be romantic. You can look it up but here's one verse

What in the world are you planning to do
When a man comes over
Just to visit with you
And I'm on the porch with a two by two
Lady what will you do about me

It was on the radio in the 90s but you won't hear it now.

Roxanne is in that neighborhood as well.
