Kinks Fire Back at Moby Over Lola Controversy
TL;DR Summary
After Moby labeled Lola transphobic and ‘unevolved,’ Dave Davies blasted the guitarist on Twitter and detailed a phone chat with Ray Davies in which Ray allegedly asked, ‘Who the fuck is Moby?’ Davies says he doesn’t enjoy criticizing others but dislikes Moby’s take, notes Lola’s enduring significance, and cites Jayne County’s 2020 essay defending the song. The brothers are meanwhile talking about low‑key live shows and a Kinks art project, with no reunion planned for now.
