That's cool. There is also at least one James Madison University.

He might have been a "man of his times"-----but he really wasn't all that bad.

At least, he is a model for how a short, sort of nondescript type of person, could make it to the highest echelons.

She is a performer, it’s what she does.
There are worse things going on in the world besides someone twerking while playing an antique flute.
The people complaining probably can’t play anything but the radio.

Oh look, another thing I read on the internet that I don't believe to be true.

I doubt the conservatives made as big a deal over it, as the big deal others are making over whatever they said.

Any amount of conservative feathers getting ruffled by this is hilarious. 8)

They didn’t like it when Miley twerked.
They just don’t like fun, a stuffy bunch.

It seems like one side is stuffy as you put it, and the other side is trying to be as vulgar as possible.

Just for the record, I personally don't have a problem with Lizzo's performance.

What Miley did was true "twerking". The lady's posterior bumping against the crotch of a gentleman.

Lizzo shook her scantilly clad leg so the flesh quivered. No partner on stage. I suppose that it was rather "taste impaired" too.

I'm not sure Lizzo was even scantily clad. Looks to me like she was wearing a body stocking type costume.

It’s not my thing.But it’s not my place to judge what others enjoy.Turn the channel and watch Lawrence Welk if you want.

That means neither side gets to complain about what they find objectionable.

Nothing wrong with saying you don’t care for something.It’s a matter of personal taste.People shouldn’t be vilified for tackiness.

That's pretty much the whole point of being tacky, to be offensive to those they want to offend.
