Another summer weekend gone. Naturally we were camping and having our fireside parties/sing-a-long/solving world problems…..
We were singing “Lonesome Loser” by Little River Band and I realized how monumentally politically incorrect it is:
“Have you heard about the lonesome loser
Beaten by the queen of hearts every time
Have you heard about the lonesome loser
He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'”
Today the lyrics would have to be re-written:
“Have you heard from a reliable, unbiased news source regarding the gender neutral individual who is currently suffering from an unidentified syndrome. This person has been assaulted by a female sovereign repeatedly and he is endeavoring to overcome the social, political and economic diversity to excel with enthusiasm and vivacity”
Not sure if it has the same lyrical harmony…
