[S7E9] What Are Cancel Culture Vultures?

Creative Freedom with Lisa Robbin Young

Ever been on a bad date? I mean a really bad date? One that was so bad you felt the urge to write a song about it? Have you ever been the subject of a song about a really bad date?

I’ve kissed a few frogs in my day, but none of them warranted the kind of song that Nile Rogers of the famous music group CHIC wrote back in 1981. He went out with a woman and at some point in the evening, she started expecting him to use his celebrity status for her benefit. The nerve!

This young lady may well be the first person to ever be canceled. Seriously. You may not know her name, but that date was so bad that Niles went home and wrote the song “Your Love Is Canceled” He equated cancellation to the way television shows are canceled. They’re just gone… never to be seen or heard from again.

In this episode, we’re going to take a closer look at what Cancel Culture Vultures are and how to protect yourself from their wrath - if that’s even possible. They’re vigilant about all the wrong things. They care more about being right than calling in for accountability. While they are a prevalent part of society at the moment, if you spend too much time worrying about them, it will stall your growth.
