So making public political protest is pointless?
No. Making public political protest that involves contributing money to
causes you´re protesting against is pointless.
Let's all just sit back doing and saying nothing, that'll show 'em!
I´m all for saying and doing lots. But putting money into their
accounts doesn´t strike me as the most effective solution.
Just because Herbert is making a more obvious political point, doesn't mean
that it detracts from his brilliant music.
I agree that the music is brilliant. But watching him destroy a
McDonalds cup that he PAID FOR isn´t a political protest - it´s a
contribution to McDonald´s.
Ok, sorry to ruffle feathers on this one. It´s way off-topic, I know.
I didn´t realize it´d keep going this far.
I just think it´s important that people remain able to separate
high-quality art from low-quality activism.
