Best response I've heard about MAGA whining about Bad Bunny not singing in English

[tulipsandroses]

I caught a clip of someone laying it out very clearly. The award winning album was done entirely in Spanish.

Why would anyone demand that he do it in English? Would you have made the same demands of Andrea Bocelli or Pavarotti? Should they translate their artistic works to suit crying entitled MAGATs?
It is so absurd.

1. I suspect german is an approved musical language

He may have learned that in his childhood home.

[Ocelot II]

2. People enjoy opera without knowing Italian, French or German,

but MAGAs probably don't enjoy opera.

3. you all are misspelling maggot..

[Shellback Squid]

5. you have not seen this version before?, it's how we spell maggot

[Gaugamela]

9. Some spell it MAGAt. It's a play on words. Also, it's considered

bad form to correct others’ grammar and spelling on DU. There is a wide range of educational background represented on DU, and some here are dyslexic or have other learning challenges.

4. I not sure that MAGAs even know that opera exists!

Speaking of stupid, I heard part of an NPR interview with Fran Lebowitz recently, and she is so witty and funny. She said that New Yorkers have always known that Trump is incredibly stupid and they could not believe he was ever elected. She's doing a tour now, and I'd enjoy seeing her in person. Here's the list of cities in case anyone is interested.

8. Oh, opera? 'Phantom Of The Opera', right?'

I hear this a lot from the right-wing crowd.



No. Not f*****g Phantom Of The Opera.

It's not opera......

[BattleRow]

6. Unless its Kid Rock performing Barber of Seville..

[usonian]

7. America is named for an Italian.

Put that in your crack pipe.

[nuxvomica]

11. Don't tell them that!

They'll want to change it to Trumpistan or Trumpsylvania.

[MLWR]

10. While I agree with the unwritten premise, I seriously doubt that MAGAts are patrons of the opera.

12. Some Folks Are Frightened Anytime They Hear a Non-English Language

And, when they're frightened, they get angry.

I remember an incident in my life. I had just finished an intensive Russian Language program in the USAF and was home on leave just before Christmas. My hometown church choral director asked if I'd sing a solo in the Christmas service. I frequently sang as a bass-baritone there before joining the USAF.

So, I said, "Sure." I talked to the church's organist and asked if she had music for "O Holy Night." Of course she did. So the Saturday before the service, we ran through it a couple of times.

The next day, in my USAF dress uniform, I sang that well-known Christmas song, the first time in English, the second time in the original French, and the third time in my newly learned Russian. I had translated the song into Russian earlier to sing it at the graduation ceremony for the language school.

So, after the service, one of the church's Deacons came up to me and scolded me for singing in a "Communist" language. I laughed in his face, to his surprise. I guess he still thought of me as the high school smartass kid I used to be. Obviously he didn't understand my reasoning in singing a Chrismas song in more than one language. I wish I had sung the Spanish version, as well.

People get angry at things they don't understand.
