One more. Todd effin Rundgren.

I never heard this before. Sorry dude, released in 78. I knew this wasn't 80's. You trying to trick me?

He's known for his 1971 album Something/Anything?, which features the well-known songs "I Saw The Light" and "Hello It's Me".

Now these are good songs!!! It almost makes me want to cry. Reminds me of my childhood. OMG thank you for remind me of this guy. I would never have known his name.

I may have been in error. It was T. Rex who annoyed me with Bang a Gong.

I think it depends on context.

I call my little nieces and nephews "monkeys" all the time.

But if I said that about a black kid, their parents would want to kick my ass and rightfully so.

Rightfully?

Wow. You’re really a virtue-signaling *****.

Howard Cosell once got in deep trouble for saying about a fast football player — who, by chance, was a black man — “look at that little monkey go!”

And that was probably about five decades ago.
