“Let’s Go Brandon”

Bob Lefsetz’s Original Post – “Let’s Go Brandon”

Gee whiz, Bob!

“Let’s go Brandon” is NOT about Spotify streams. And it’s certainly not about any kind of “transparency”. If you’re going to hang your hat and base your reputation upon a political chant that was misrepresented by the mainstream drive-by media, you’re going to have about as much credibility as the Billboard charts you criticize.

From Wikipedia:

“Let’s Go Brandon” is a political slogan and internet meme used as a euphemism for “Fuck Joe Biden” in reference to the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden, during his first year in office.The phrase “Let’s go Brandon” posted on a sign at a saloon in Jarbidge, Nevada

Chants of “Fuck Joe Biden” were heard at sporting events starting in early September 2021. “Let’s Go Brandon” came into use after NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast misrepresented a chant of “Fuck Joe Biden” by spectators at a NASCAR race as “Let’s go, Brandon” while interviewing driver Brandon Brown after he won the 2021 Sparks 300 at Talladega Superspeedway. The saying has become well known through use by Republican supporters, pundits, and leaders.

Do you give ANY thought to the fact that an NBC sports reporter misrepresented and distorted angry chants about President Biden?

“And truth doesn’t even matter.” – Bob Lefsetz

Well, it SHOULD matter! But you take angry chants directed at Joe Biden and turn it into some sort of perverse metaphor for the recording industry.

“What kind of crazy, fucked-up world do we live in where…”
