Craig and Charlie Reid, who make up the beloved Scottish rock duo The Proclaimers, best known for their 1988 hit “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles),” denounced trans rights while promoting their new album, claiming the movement for equality is merely “the Left losing their collective mind.”
The 64-year-old twin brothers discussed their new and staunchly political album, You May Offend, with The Telegraph earlier this month. While the songs express several views that veer left, they made clear in their interview that they do not support trans rights.
This shit is not music.
It’s not a song, neither is the Ed Sheeran post or the countless posts about artists dying. Yet you don’t seem to care about them?
Never mind them. Music is art, and art is a conversation. If that bastard can make music that is transphobic, then it’s fair game to talk about them being a shithead.
