Devil's advocate: Unless you are RATM or SOAD, it is a major buzzkill whenever an artist you like gets involved in politics in any way. - con_carne Sep 11, 08:38 16
- Even if I agreed with that, Swift would be a different situation with the AI stuff. - the wrong element Sep 11, 08:58 3
  - Wait, what happened with the churches? -- nm - Trending Sep 11, 09:01 2
    - A lot of them are telling their congregations to vote Trump. - the wrong element Sep 11, 09:08 1
      - It has no place. I'm glad the church my wife works at has a hard line against talking any politics (it has plenty of other issues but this isn't one) -- nm - oblique Sep 11, 09:11
- Yeah, screw you, Woody Guthrie! Stick to the music! -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 11, 08:45
- Strong disagree. Politics are a huge part of a great many number of artists’ successes. -- nm - Qale Sep 11, 08:44 10
  - I wouldn't mind some examples. Sepultura/Max Cavalera is maybe a third artist who was political from the beginning. -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 08:58 3
    - Every folk singer ever, Bob Marley, Public Enemy, Dead Kennedys. - the wrong element Sep 11, 09:05
    - A whole plethora of rock bands as you’d expect. Sometimes it goes in the other direction too like my long-admired Adeltas Way. - Qale Sep 11, 09:02 1
      - Jefe, what is a plethora? -- nm - El Guapo Sep 11, 09:04
  - Word. I kinda like to know that my favorite artist(s) is not a horrible human behind closed doors. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Sep 11, 08:45 5
    - That being said, Fever 333 could stand to make a different song. -- nm - Qale Sep 11, 08:55
    - Lol, you do not go looking up the artists' politics before you decide whether or not you like a song. How do I know this? Cause that would be buzzkill -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 08:54 3
      - Eric Clapton...not so much political but outright racist despite his whole career was based on black culture -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 11, 11:06
      - No - but if they turn out to be a horrible person (see Rock, Kid) - I will stop listening to their shit. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Sep 11, 08:56 1
        
        Further - this is a large part of the reason I don't watch football anymore. Part 1 - the NFL's treatment of my home town. Part 2 - my -- (edited) - Turd Ferguson Sep 11, 08:56
Brittany Mahomes has a chance to do the funniest thing ever. -- nm - Dano Sep 11, 08:29 4
- i like that now she has to keep pretending to be besties on camera in the skybox for another 20 weeks -- nm - mr mooch Sep 11, 08:43 1
  - or she could simply do the right thing. -- nm - mud Sep 11, 08:47
- At a minimum, Patrick could. -- nm - David Sep 11, 08:36
- [fingers crossed] -- nm - mud Sep 11, 08:35
What would the price be? Less record sales? Her shows will still sell out, she’s already a billionaire…beyond harassment by MAGA drillers…. -- nm - Trending Sep 11, 08:04
nah. She put it off for a time only out of concern for the dangerous backlash against her fans (after Austria). She smaht. -- nm - mud Sep 11, 08:04
Some Swifties might, but yes. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 08:02
