rfmcdonaldJanet Jackson's 1986 song "Nasty", saw, according to Engadget, its plays on Spotify surge substantially as a result of Donald Trump's misogynistic comment last night that Hillary Clinton was a "nasty woman".
This song's surge in recognition in the past day is kind of amazing. That this is a good song, and a meaningful song on its own terms and in the context of the week's events, makes it all the better. I own quite a few of Janet Jackson's albums, starting chronologically with the album Control that this song comes from, an album that marks the beginning of her modern artistic and commercial prime and has quite a few songs that, like "Nasty", combine musical verve with a thoughtful mind.
