Rebel Rebel By David Bowie

Rebel Rebel by David Bowie

Song first appeared in 1974, on the album Diamond Dogs. I already recommended this one but, EVERYTHING about this songs make it a hit choice for Pride Month Recs.

First it was coupled with Queen Bitch (David Bowie - Queen Bitch (Old Grey Whistle Test, 1972) (youtube.com)) on the B face of the Vinyl, a song sung in gay vernacular about being an active participant of "the gay life".

Secondly, the lyrics make a lot of allusion at being Gender Non-Conforming, Transgender and Non-Binary. They make allusion at the Punk subculture and possibly reference the Drag scene (with the famous Drag Queen Divine).

And last but not least, DAVID BOWIE HIMSELF. David Bowie is a bisexual artist (first come out as gay, then later as bisexual), who used to crossdress and defy gender norms. He was a queer icon that inspired generations of LGBTQIA+ people, from the 70's to nowaday.

ok let's make something very clear: Taylor Swift is not a baddie.

she a spoiled white woman who grew up very wealthy and who's individual carbon footprint is larger than the entirety of some small nations.

you know who is a southern baddie? Dolly Parton.

grew up in absolute poverty in a shack with dirt floors

(TS has a rich family and spent every Xmas in NYC)

modeled her style after the town trollop, who she thought was the most beautiful woman in the world, and embraced her sexuality.

(TS retains the image of the young innocent virgin white girl despite being 35 years old and every one of her songs is about a man)

wrote a song about the stupidity of the American work system

(TS is a billionaire with two private jets)

has supported the queer community for decades even through some of its darkest times like the AIDS crisis

(TS uses the queer community like a prop)

started a scientific organization to help cure viruses like AIDS and that even helped develop the Covid vaccine

(TS made the last superbowl all about her becauses she was dating one of the players)

has run a charity since 1995 that sends millions of books to children in poverty, particularly the rural south where she grew up

(TS has done nothing for the south and its problems despite her southern belle persona)

"But she told off Trump! Thats something!"

Honey thats the absolute bare minimum.

That's telling someone 'bless you' after they sneeze.

That's holding the door open for someone in a wheelchair.

Thats waving back to a little kid when they wave at you.

It takes 0 risk and 0 effort and should not be a point of praise.

"Well her southern fans and sponsors didn't like it."

So? Woman is a billionaire with connections all over the world. She literally doesn't need them.

Bottom line: Taylor Swift remains an egotistical bourgeoisie white cunt who should be known for her pollution levels instead of her mid music.

While Dolly remains the bad bitch she's been since the 1970s.
