I guess 1989 is now considered "yesteryear", but Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of Boot Hill is very morbid and misogynistic. Johnny Winter also did a great version of this song in 1984.
"Look up on the wall baby....hand me down my shootin' iron Look up on the wall baby....hand me down my shootin' iron Call your mother long distance....tell her to expect your body home
If the city don't bury you baby....lord knows the county will If the city don't bury you baby....lord knows the county will
You made your last mistake....you going way out on that boot hill
Lord I don't want to wax you darlin'....'cause you gave me my first thrill Lord I don't want to wax you baby....'cause you gave me my first thrill You did me so wrong....you're going way out on that boot hill"
I liked this band, but must have never really listened closely to the lyrics on that one. Wow! This will be leaving my collection.

Sticking with the "sixteen theme", John Mayall, "She's Too Young"
Sixteen, she is still in school
I've got to learn to keep it
cool
She's too young but not for me
So with a bit of luck
She will find a
way to come to me
Why do people always intervene?
Very soon she'll be
seventeen
She's too young to skip town
She was born to be loved
And I can't
wait to bury her down
She's beautiful and waits for me
Will our plans
ever come to be?
She's too young so people say
But with the opportunity
She
would run to me today
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

But now the question that comes to mind is, is there a category of song besides sexist/ misogynistic song of the 50's, 60's and 70's that would cause a negative reaction?

Would the satirical nature of Frank Zappa's Bobby Brown be understood on twitter today?
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
Such a fun band - really wish they would do a reunion tour but Danny is probably too busy scoring every 2nd movie that gets released....

Always felt like it was inspired by Down by the river. Anyone know if GNR ever talked about being influenced by Neil Young?
