(8,378 posts)I despise that. So it's OK for bankers, masters of industry, tycoons and oligarchs to "voice their opinion" (or buy the government), yet a singer can't express themselves?
What these people DO NOT like about bands like Green Day, U2, Dropkick Murphys and others speaking out is THEY ARE NOT SAYING the "right" things.
Do the same hacks bash Kid Rock from "not shutting up and singing"? Of course not. Say what you want. It's the damn USA, the land of the free (for now, sorta). If Rob Ritchie wants to be a Maga blowhole go for it. He should say what he wants, even if he's an idiot.

(8,378 posts)And on here within the context of what I was saying I am sure you got it, but I didn't want any confusion.
Back to the topic at hand. Artists should have NO constraints. EVER. As long as they are hurting no one they should be left to their own devices of their craft.
Nazis try to control the art community, because arts (whether it's music, poets, painters, etc) is always pushing at the walls of conventional wisdom. Always have. A reading of the rise of Nazism in Germany will show that.

(26,563 posts)Yeah, I've read a bit about restricting artistic expression.
