You’ve heard of cancel culture …yes?

You say or do something considered offensive… and youre shunned on social media… and in the real world as if you don’t exist.  Snap judgement go viral on social media… and that’s it.  You’re cancelled.

But yesterday… Cancel Culture folded in on itself like a star turns into a black hole.

This is the Columbia University Marching Band.  Let me correct myself … they don’t march.  They kind a run around on the field and hang out at the 50 yard line. 

Ivy League School in New York City.   So you have 50 or so musicians slouching while powering their way through  songs like…  I think this is Livin on a Prayer.  so hip and ironic…  they are… that yesterday… the Columbia University Band canceled itself..

The band’s members admitted to a long history of sexual misconduct, assault, theft, racism and injury to the Columbia University Community.  They voted to disbanded… their own marching band. … sorry.  They don’t march.  They cancelled themselves.

Among the offenses the cite.  Using a native american war cry at a football game.  Binge Drinking.  Sexual Harrassment at band parties.   So yesterday… the music died.

First of all… no great loss. I mean… listen.

Second… while New York is taking the band’s action very serious my suspicion is… it’s a prank.   The Ivy League football season is cancelled.  The band has no place to march.   Or not march.  So why not cancel ourselves and get some attention.

They got me talking about what might be the worst sounding marching band in America.  Right …. they don’t march.
