Is Moby Wrong About “Lola”?

Moby says “Lola” is offensive… but is he completely missing the point?In this episode of Listener Land, we break down the debate around Moby’s comments and ask a bigger question: should older songs be judged by today’s standards, or are we rewriting music history?We also get into why certain songs make people want to pick up a guitar, how Aerosmith made more money from Guitar Hero than their actual albums, and whether Morrissey cancelling gigs because he’s “too sleepy” is peak rockstar behaviour or just taking the mick.Plus:– The weird truth about Michael Jackson sketching doors (yes, really)– Why artists like Robbie Williams struggled in the US– And whether Manchester is quietly becoming the UK’s music capital againIf you care about music, culture, and the madness in between, this one’s for you.🍺 Supported by Rudgate Breweryhttps://www.rudgatebrewery.co.uk/👇 Let us know in the comments:Was Moby right… or way off?If you enjoyed this episode, hit like and subscribe for weekly music debates, stories and nonsense.🎧 Listen to Listener Land on Spotify:👉 https://open.spotify.com/show/7ICTuI4iLIqlZw2cdVmdL3?si=-TrZ045LTJW3m-jXGBZ16g01:30 Beer of the week (Rudgate Brewery)03:30 Moby vs “Lola” – is it actually offensive?08:30 Aerosmith & Guitar Hero made HOW much?!11:20 Songs that make you want to learn guitar16:00 Michael Jackson’s bizarre door obsession18:40 UK vs US music success – who translates?23:50 Morrissey cancels gig… for being sleepy26:00 Jackie Chan’s secret music career27:00 Is Manchester the UK’s music capital again?36:00 Olivia Dean & the new wave of UK artists#listenerland #moby #thekinks #lola #musicdebate #musicpodcast #guitarhero #morrissey #manchestermusic #musicculturehttps://youtu.be/_XyWqykseY0
