How is it that Springsteen didn't get cancelled for these lyrics to "I'm on Fire"?

View attachment 53874

Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go and leave you all alone? Mhmm
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do? Oh no
I can take you higher
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley
Through the middle of my skull
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
When did songs about adultery get people cancelled? Why didn’t Johnny Cash get cancelled for singing about shooting a man just to watch him die?
Hey, little girl is your daddy home...I got a bad desire? Its a little more than adultery. Don't know about the Johhny Cash song. I'll look into it. Maybe he should get cancelled too. Although, he is dead...
If you're thinking it's about child molestation, you've misinterpreted. And "daddy" isn't referring to her father.

More like sugar daddy.

But there are plenty of child molester songs out there. And some real child molesters to go with them.

Ted Nugent
 
... I can enjoy opera in a language I don't understand at all, etc.

A famous quote, I don't remember by who, something vaguely like this:
"I like opera so long as it is in a language I don't understand"

Yes, one of the performers on the alternative Super Bowl halftime show sings one. And then there’s his biggest fan.

You gotta admit, taking the lyrics literally, it does have a creepy vibe to it. I actually wasn't super serious about it being a pedo song. In my mind, I gave Bruce the benefit of the doubt that he was being metaphoric, as he doesn't seem like someone who would actually "go there".

Don't know the Ted Nugent story. What did he do? I was pretty horrified finding out about Jimmy Page though. Makes you see someone in a different light.

Folsom Prison Blues

When I was just a baby, my mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry

Of course, he was not singing about himself. It's a first person narrative, especially common in folk and country music. I know you know that.

But, I had conversations with morons in my youth who, when they heard Ozzy sing "my name is Lucifer, please take my hand", thought Ozzy was saying he was the Devil. So I just thought I'd mention it.

Then there’s the James Broadnax case (Texas, naturally):

Egads! I hadn't heard of that.

Thinking of Ozzy again, it's a wonder he didn't get hanged for pissing on the Alamo.

Wrong color, perhaps...

Per Wiki:

Relationships with underage girls​

[edit]
Nugent's 1981 song "Jailbait" describes statutory rape. In a Behind the Music episode, he admitted to having sexual relations with underage girls on multiple occasions. In 2013, the musician Courtney Love said she had performed oral sex on Nugent at 14, and that there was a line of young girls waiting to engage in sexual acts.

In 1978 29-year-old Nugent began a relationship with 17-year-old Hawaii native Pele Massa. On VH1's Behind the Music, Nugent said that Massa's parents approved of the relationship and preferred him to an alcoholic or a drug addict. It's alleged Nugent became or tried to become Massa's legal guardian with her parents' permission.

Nugent said in a 2021 livestream: "No, I wasn't a sex offender, I've never been a sex offender."
