It’s almost as if musicians are aware of the needs and issues of more diverse groups of people due to the nature of their craft.
It’s as if by exposing yourself to different people and cultures outside of your immediate group is helpful to gain a greater appreciation for others and their beliefs and needs...
I don't get into politics. They are all a bunch of idiots. But to say that musicians should decide what's best for the country is crazy.
So all Republicans aren't decent human beings? I don't pick sides with this kind of stuff, it's pointless. They all lie and The only thing that is going to help your life is yourself. No old rich guy is going to make your life any better.
I mean, if old rich guys aren’t going to make anything better, why immediately discount musicians knowing that they’re far more similar to the average person than a rich old dude?
Old rich guys may not directly make my life better (arguable), but they can certainly enact laws and processes that actively make other people's lives worse. I'd rather take the side of anyone facing injustice or having their rights impeded upon than just not take a side at all because it may not impact me personally. But I guess you are completely right if you're cool with not looking past your own bubble.
tell that to all the women who could end up being told what they can and cannot do with their bodies.
