So, Erykah Badu has a new music video that's getting some attention. (Check it out on her official site, here.) Basically, she's walking around somewhere (right out in the open) taking her clothes off, until finally she's buck-ass naked. Then, a shot rings out and she falls to the ground. (Dead? I guess?) All of which sounds like a pretty run of the mill music video (and somewhat tame, given some of what's been done. Anyone remember 'Smack My Bitch Up'?) until you realize that she's in Dallas and she's been walking around Dealey Plaza this whole time, stripping.
And she falls to the ground near where President Kennedy was shot.
I don't know. Personally, having seen the video, it's pretty tame. OK, she was walking around, taking her clothes off in the daylight, in front of children and who knows who else, but that's all she was doing. She didn't deface a monument or burn an American flag- she just got naked in Dealey Plaza and fell down near where the President was shot. I don't see that as particularly controversial to me... but, go, see the video. Decide for yourselves.
