“When Madonna came out with her hit “Vogue” you knew it was over. She’d taken a very specifically queer, transgender, Latino and African-American phenomenon and totally erased that context with lyrics about how “It makes no difference if you’re black or white, if you’re a boy or a girl.” Madonna was taking in tons of money, while the Queen who actually taught her how to vogue was sitting on a table in front of me, broke. So if anybody requested “Vogue” or any other Madonna track, I just told them, “No, this is a Madonna-free zone! And as long as I’m DJ-ing, you will not be allowed to vogue to the decontextualized, reified, corporatized, liberalized, neutralized, asexualized, re-genderized pop reflection of this dance floor’s reality!””

On this day, 26 July 1950, the No Gun Ri massacre took place, when the US military murdered up to 400 South Korean civilians, in one of the biggest mass killings by US forces. A large group of refugees were travelling south after being ordered to leave their villages by US troops, consisting primarily of women, children and the elderly. First they were strafed by US military aircraft, possibly killing around 100, then as they sought refuge under a bridge ground troops attacked for three nights. One GI, Norman Tinkler, later reported to the Associated Press “We just annihilated them”; another, Hermann Patterson, recalled “It was just wholesale slaughter”. One of the survivors, Chung Koo-ho, later recounted her experiences:“People pulled dead bodies around them for protection… Mothers wrapped their children with blankets and hugged them with their backs toward the entrances… My mother died on the second day of shooting.” Pictured: A re-enactment of the incident for the 2009 film, A Little Pond. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1485037661681379/?type=3
