A bit of an internet kerfuffle is afoot surrounding the University of Mississippi — which is in Oxford, Miss. and some 475 miles of hard driving from, say, Columbia, Missouri — and the university’s decision to invite Wiz Khalifa for their academic year kickoff concert. In short, people ARE MAD ON THE ‘NET.
The main outrage seems to surround Khalifa’s avowed marijuana use — quelle horreur — and sexualizing objectification of women in his music. There’s room for this latter argument, but the former? Have you read anything about Johnny Cash? Bob Dylan?
