At the turn of the 18th century, when the US colonies were just figuring out how to be states, it would be hard to imagine that all of these hundreds of thousands of slaves would be set free on humanitarian grounds. Those fighting the civil war would find that women would have an equal right to vote as men across the nation sixty years later as being pretty far fetched.

Here’s something a bit different. The following is a description of the lyrics of a popular song. What’s the title?

In later verses he expresses his exasperation with the entertainment industry’s portrayal of the ideal female form. He soundly rejects the notion promulgated by fashion magazines that diminutive buttocks are more desirable. His critique of the women that appeared in contemporary music videos is particularly scathing, likening their appearance to those of prostitutes.
