    I've never heard of them when they used their old name. I doubt I will hear from them with their new name either.

      In Boston, with Columbus, the enemy is not racism, but white supremacy

      I can see supporting the opposite of racism

      But the opposite of white supremacy might be something else

        Can't wait until we change our name from America. Being tied to such a racist italian who killed natives, owned slaves, and was and told many tall tales about such endeavors... I mean, how racist is our country's name? Might as well be the United States of the Klan!

        Some folks might like that.

          I tried thinking about why the name Earth is racist. The closest I could come to are the Anglo Saxons involved...because they were white, they were obviously racist. And don't get me started with the Greeks who owned a lot of these root words... and slaves.

            Just wondering...

            Do any of "Lady A's" fans not understand what the "A" stands for?

            Is it just a name created de novo?

            Everyone knows what the "A" stands for - but we dare not say it.

              @George-K Good point.

              If they really were serious they would change their name to Lady Postbellum.

              Wait, no... Human Postbellum (the use of "Lady" is too restrictive).

              Wait, Human is also anthropocentric, it should be Carbon Lifeform Postbellum.

              Wait, no...it should be Carbon Lifeform Postbellum with all due respect to our sedimentary friends.

              Wait...what about the water on Mars? LOLJK, that would be taking it too far.

                  I think Lady Anti-Antebellum would suffice.

                    As long as we're at it, let's change the word "white" to "black," get rid of the word "white" altogether.

                        Whoopsie....https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/lady-antebellum-lady-a-country-blues-1013919/

                        Seattle blues singer Lady A had just gotten off of work on Thursday when a bombardment of phone messages from friends, fans and producers came in all shouting the same thing: Her name had been stolen.

                        Earlier that day, Grammy-winning country trio Lady Antebellum — whose name had been criticized for its associations with romanticized ideas of the pre-war, slavery-ridden American South — announced they were changing their name to Lady A in light of a heightened national conversation about racism. Lady Antebellum made the changes swiftly on social media and distribution platforms including Spotify and Apple Music, and the group’s website also announced their rechristening as Lady A. But according to Seattle’s Lady A, neither the band nor any members of their team reached out to her before making the change.

                        This Lady A — a 61-year-old black woman whose real name is Anita White — has been playing the blues under the name for more than 20 years. She began singing as a gospel performer at church and started going by Lady A for karaoke nights in the Eighties. She’s released multiple albums with the name, and on top of her day job working with Seattle Public Utilities, she’s gearing up to release another album, Lady A: Live in New Orleans, on her birthday on July 18th.

                                  Well, when you consider the millions of colored people running around in fear that they might hear the word antebellum, I can understand the change.

                                  I mean why terrorize so many people when you can just let it go?

                                  Scary words should never see the light of day in this country.

                                    I wonder how many people even know what it means other than the name of a band.
