back in the day musicians used to actually avoid using proper pronouns in their songs to hide the fact that they were gay.
like constantly referring to the subject of the song as "you" instead of "girl" or "boy" etc.
these days it seems like straight artists have to use no gender in thier songs so they make sure they don't exclude an audience.
it's a sick world we live in.
here's a challenge.
while listening to music, try your best to keep the songs gender free.
some good examples would be "girl. you'll be a woman soon" by urge overkill
"are you gonna be my girl" by jet
and for the heck of it, "Girls" by the beastie boys.
ladies, you are on your own for songs specifically about guys.
i don't listen to that crap.
and i still hate Brainy Smurf.
