If you were headed to a county fair this summer to see Pat Benatar play “Hit Me Withe Your Best Shot” you’ll be disappointed. The aging and irrelevant rocker says she won’t be singing her biggest hit because of gun violence. Hey, at least you can still get a deep-fried Twinkie and catch half of Milli Vanilli.
Benatar did an interview with USA Today and was asked a question that had nothing to do with gun violence or her anti-gun activism. She however gave an answer all about her anti-gun activism:
“And we’re not doing “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” and fans are having a heart attack and I’m like, I’m sorry, in deference to the victims of the families of these mass shootings, I’m not singing it,” said Benatar.
But it’s not a song about mass shootings, is it?
“(The title) is tongue-in-cheek, but you have to draw the line. I can’t say those words out loud with a smile on my face, I just can’t. I’m not going to go on stage and soapbox – I go to my legislators – but that’s my small contribution to protesting,” Benatar said.
What would she say to her disappointed fans (fan)?
“I tell them, if you want to hear the song, go home and listen to it,” said Benatar. “I’m not going to sing it. Tough.”
Again, the song is not about mass shootings or murdering people in anyway. It’s about Pat Benatar getting laid, which for someone as unattractive as her, should be a source of pride.
Making this extra-dumb is the fact the people didn’t just start getting shot to death this year. In 1980 when “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” was a hit, 23,440 people were murdered in the United States. Despite democrats encouraging a rise in crime, it’s unlikely the murders will hit that level in 2020.
Murder hit an all-time high in the early 1990s and had been on steady decline since. That was reversed in 2020, when “defund the police” and woke DAs left many major cities wash in bloodshed. You’ve seen the headlines that say murders are at a 25-year high, but that’s just in democrat-run cities. Generally speaking, violent crime isn’t rising drastically in the whole country, just the shitty blue parts.
Benatar must think that hood rats listen to her music and are inspired to murder. I can assure her that is not the case.
Still, she can’t be too careful. I’ve found a few more problematic songs in her catalog that she should also stop playing:
“Heartbreaker” – Heart disease killed 697,000 Americans in 2020, which makes the gun death numbers look insignificant.
“Hell is for Children” – Considering the children killed in Uvalde, TX, Benatar seems like a ghoul if she keeps playing this one.
“Fire and Ice” – Liberals tell us that Climate Change is responsible for out-of-control wild fires in the West and deadly ice storms in the East and South. In deference to the victims of the families, she should not sing this one either.
“Shadows in the Night” and “Looking for a Stranger” both have a rapey child molesty vibes that have no place in the #MeToo era.
“Love is a Battlefield” – Liberals tell us that AR-15 “assault weapons” were designed for the battlefield and don’t belong on on our streets. They also don’t belong in Pat Benatar’s set list.
The most insane thing here is that with this virtue signaling meaningless gesture, Pat Benatar thinks she’s making a difference.
