2/ Bubblegum music was ostensibly intended for kids, but filled with double-entendres involving drugs and sex. Even as it superficially pulled back on some of the heavy-hitter preoccupations of sixties music—e.g., war—it touted a strange aggressiveness in romantic relationships. — PolitiTweet.org

1/ I call the article above “weird” as it offers an essay—and an LP worth of obscure music—from a sub-genre of 1960s music that offered (a) the catchiest songs of the decade, but also (b) songs that are, in retrospect, pretty controversial. I find it all historically fascinating. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ The essay I’ve written here tackles these paradoxes and troubling trends head-on—including taking a look at some bubblegum lyrics that’d be deemed *genuinely creepy today*, even as I acknowledge that some of the biggest 1960s pop hits were bubblegum but simply not called that. — PolitiTweet.org
