I really hear you when you say that today's "protest" musicians are very much in with the establishment. Nothing so wrong in that if they have an effect - if they achieves their aims. But then, they never will acheive their aims if they're so willing to sell-up their ideology by cosying up to the government whose policies they're protesting against. Yes, we need some truly daring musicians whose priority is their music and their messages rather than "selling out" to commercialism to make money. Nothing wrong with making money of course but there a lot wrong with hypocrisy. Really enjoyed this read. Better than the established journals. Brilliant write-up tyger.
