Slog - Comments on Is Jeff Kirby Sexist? http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/is_jeff_kirby_sexist That's what commenters on Line Out say about this. (Kirby, I got your back. No way.)... Copyright 2008 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 00:45:08 -0800 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 21:42:40 -0800 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.34 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Comment by Nay Totally off-topic, but I have no thread to vent in yet. So far, this retooling of the slog is not doing it for me. It's hard to read the longer posts all the way across the screen. Is that supposed to be that way?

That sentence's meaning is really ambiguous (meaningless?), considering Parton is financing this record on her own dime without a major label backing.

ECB found some comments she "disagreed" with and tried to remove them from the SLOG, and ended up messing with the whole site.

The record industry is old, washed up, passed its prime, etc., and so is Dolly. Though, come to think of it, he illustrated how Dolly was passed her prime by basically saying you wouldn't want to fuck her, rather than, her music sucks now, so maybe it was sexist.

His motivation probably isn't wrong; it's just that he's a young feller who doesn't know any history. To him, everyone over the age of 35 is "old people". Would he write the same drivel about Keith Richard? Probably. But of course, Dolly is still relevant, while Richard hasn't participated in interesting music for a quarter of a century.

This thing still isn't remembering people, or displaying their links.

it's like kirby is saying,
human : talk :: cat : meow
and you counter with, but some humans meow.

Not about Dolly, she's awesome and always entertaining. But A Bigger Band was a great album. And it's Richards.

He's plural.

Dolly hasn't "tricked" you, Jeff, she's made a very funny, campy, ironic joke. Too bad it sailed right over your head.
