Pop star Ke$ha tweets her hit 'Die Young' 'now inappropriate' after Newtown shootings
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ke$ha says she understands her hit song "Die Young" ''is now inappropriate" following the shootings in Newtown, Conn.
The pop singer said in a Twitter post Tuesday night that she's "so so so sorry" for anyone affected by the tragedy.
Earlier Tuesday, Ke$ha tweeted that she had her own issues with "Die Young" due to the lyrics, but that she was "FORCED TO" sing them. That tweet was deleted a short time later.
Ke$ha's spokesman said the 25-year-old had no comment Wednesday morning.

First off, Kesha is terrible and that song would still be bad no matter what it was called.
Ok, now that that's out of the way 
But I think it's a bit weird that people have a problem with songs that were written before a tragedy and have no connection with them at all.
What's even weirder is how superficial the analysis is. Is anybody saying that Pearl Jam's 'Jeremy' or The Boomtown Rats' 'I Don't Like Mondays' are inappropriate? Those are songs that are actually about school violence. Yet this throwaway lyric by Kesha is what is considered inappropriate? I don't get it.
I remember a similarly blaring omission in the list of 'inappropriate songs' after 9/11. Our local paper printed a huge list, which I noticed didn't contain Nortorious B.I.G.'s 'Juicy,' which contains the line 'Get paid/blow up like the world trade' (referencing the 1993 WTC bombing). I thought it was odd that a song like 'Let the Bodies Hit the Floor' was inappropriate but a song that name-checked a terrorist attack on the same building was overlooked.
