Art, you've never been shy about expressing your views, even through your artistic endevours. You want to rail against Ted Nugent for a while too? Then you might at least be consistent.
Your criticisms bely a certain prejudice which while you're entitled to, at least deserves examination.
propaganda masquerading as "art."
Tell that to Leni Riefenstahl. Now, i don't happen to be a National Socialist...but that intro shot? That's art.
Or for the hell of it, look to the other side. Casablanca... Do artists occasionally make questionable choices in how to use their artistic expression in political manners? Yes. Leni Riefenstahl would probably be example numero uno.
But is it the role of Established Art, as expressed by professional artists, to claim that political speech ought to be stricken?
" This sort of demagoguery" "sociopath" "cartoon"
Funny, that for a guy who says he doesn't decide with emotions, that half your original post is ad homiem attack.
Frankly, as a queer person, i don't care much for Em. But the video has some artistic merit...becuase of my political beliefs i happen to like most of the lyrics, too.
But honestly...since when did art become too pure to tolerate a message?
