Music should lift us up. It should make us better for having heard it. It should ennoble our souls (or have a beat that we can dance to) and in the best of moments it is the white-hot fire in which our greatest cultural moments are forged. Like any tool, though, music can be used for evil purposes. It can be used to make us hateful and dumb. It can be used to pander to our worst instincts and to empower those who approach life in a spirit of militant, malignant ignorance.

Today’s song is built on so many lies, so much ignorance, such powerfully stupid ill will that it would take an army of scholars years to unravel it all.
