Remember when all those singers and rock bands were inspired to writer "protest" songs during the Bush administration? For example, Green Day's 'American Idiot.' Not so much now, eh?
I guess secret kill lists, drone strikes, non-Congressional attacks on Libya, crony capitalism, spending wastes, internet crackdowns, divsive class warfare rhetoric, high unemployment and mishandled events like Fast & Furious and Benghazi don't quite make the artistic protesters cut.
I guess it's true what they say. It's ok to be someone's fool so long as they talk your game. Or was it me that said that? I forget.
It's funny. Artists are said to seek the truth. Yet, often they seem nothing but naive sheep.
Which explains why so many of them fell in love with communism.
I reckon.
The human mind is fascinating, isn't it? To hold contradictory thoughts and believing each to be true astounds me yet I see it everywhere. Perhaps I even do it myself.
