I respectfully disagree and think in particular music journalism or criticism can and should explore this broader context.Magpie Mothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09274196005953926877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6349060895364969444.post-26513050991249940682018-09-25T12:28:34.512+01:002018-09-25T12:28:34.512+01:00Sounds like you have it out for terrorizer and nit...Sounds like you have it out for terrorizer and nitpicking. What difference does it make that they leave racism out? It doesn't change the music.....people can discover that fact out pretty easily on their own by just viewing vargs youtube channel. I feel that you can like an artists music apart from the creator. I enjoyed Michael Jackson music but could careless about him personally.....if Vargs lyrics offend listeners.....don't listen, easy.
