Let's talk about the elephant (or horse, or kangaroo) in the room...that is cancel culture. We tackle the complex issue of knowing when, where, and how to "cancel" your problematic ex-favorite artist, record, and/or song. SPOILER ALERT - we're just as confused about it as the rest of ya'll - as the lines can get blurred from a music fan's perspective.
