What is your most ??? take that absolutely infuriates people and you know deep down in your heart is 100% true

As requested people brought the fire..and the questionable takes.
…To be fair some actually made a lot of sense.
I’ll say it again — Don McLean’s “American Pie” is one of the absolute worst songs ever recorded.https://t.co/6AflQqouHy

The Jeff Buckley cover of Hallelujah is whiny dogshit and doesn’t remotely come close to the original version https://t.co/ttTJ9QqiLh

Others were truly shocking.
“South Park” is a fundamentally mean-spirited, nasty show that has made American culture not only coarser, but crueler. https://t.co/zUBrxhk3qU
