Are people finally fed up with 'Cancel Culture'?
Although the headline to this article implies the sales increased after the 'racial slur', I think the critical issue is his being cancelled. People are fed up with it. Similar buying surges happened after the Goya Foods CEO got cancelled, and more recently the MyPillow Guy. I know I'm personally VERY fed up. I never heard of this guy, but this article makes me want to go buy his CD.
Sorry for the rant, but I actually thought the article might be honest and informative. Silly me. The author dodged the most important part.
The guy they interviewed is way out of touch. He says radio airplay is a primary driver of consumption. I can’t tell you the last time I listened to the radio.
