It's March 23rd. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. I'm Corey, with the story. A musician who goes by Southside recently shared in an interview that he can no longer listen to the King's classic Lola. He called the lyrics Gross and Transphobic after hearing it on a Spotify playlist. He still enjoys the band's early work, but found the words outdated and shocking. Counting, another artist, pushed back strongly on that view. She revealed that Lola actually shaped her own songwriting, including her track Wonder Woman, which nods to the King's song. As a trans person herself, Counties sees Lola as a groundbreaking tune from the 1970s. She praised it for pulling music into the real world, one with bisexual, gay, and trans people, not just stray folks. Counties emphasized how the song smashed through narrow-minded barriers back then. For her, it remains incredibly special and full of a great story that she will always cherish. This back and forth highlights how classic songs
like Lola spark fresh debates today, showing their lasting power to divide and inspire.
