Legendary Kinks guitarist turns tables on Moby for calling classic tune ‘unevolved’
NY Post
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola’s got them ma-ma-ma-ma mad.
Celebrated musician and producer Moby took a cheap shot at the Kinks in a biting new interview published Sunday, calling the British rockers’ classic “Lola” “unevolved” — and sparking a nasty spat with the rock icons.
“Lola by the Kinks came up on a Spotify playlist, and I thought the lyrics were gross and transphobic,” Moby said during a sit-down with the Guardian.
“I like their early music, but I was really taken aback at how unevolved the lyrics are.”
The jab didn’t sit well with Kinks’ guitarist Dave Davies, the brother of front man and songwriter Ray Davies — who even invoked the name of a noted transgender punk rocker in his sharp rebuke.
“To @thelittleidiot Moby’s criticism of our song LOLA these are the words sent to me and Ray from our dear friend trans icon @jaynecounty27 #JayneCounty,” Davies wrote in a scathing X post. “I am highly insulted that MOBY would accuse my brother of being ‘unevolved’ or transphobic in any way.”
