Pop Stars Meddling in Politics

[Highway Man]

Just bloody well sing and leave the politics to the politicians. Makes my blood boil. The music stage isn't for you to voice and impose your woke views. Poor old Edd being pressured into apologising.

I prefer when politicians sing

There's more blowback speaking out on Israel/Palestine than other issues

Whos your favorite?

Politicians meddling in concerts.

Quite a lot of billionaire Americans still support Israel's racism, apartheid and genocide, and will stop at nothing to prevent it being mentioned

If you go to see a concert at a music gig and the group or singer starts harping on about supporting Palestinians, how does that make any Israelis feel. There is no need for it, just sing and dance and keep your thoughts to yourself.

There is that aspect to it . It's not a debate .

Similar applies to men chatting up women working at checkouts. They're literally stuck there listening to men sleazing on them

They are both captive audiences

The crowd is stuck there listening to the popstars ramblings

The woman working the checkout is stuck there listening to a man sleazing on her

I suppose that depends whether they support racism, apartheid and genocide, or oppose it.

Like how do people feel about a billionaire crushing free speech if somebody says a thing he doesn't like.

Woke, woke, woke, I am now ‘woke’ up. I cannot understand what woke means. My take is if someone does not agree with someone’s politics, then they are classed as woke. That could apply in reverse too surely

 

[Collectors]

Israel/Palestine are just as bad as each other in committing atrocity's. But dont bring it to anywhare that thousands have gone and paid for to enjoy them selves.

What's so wrong in being 'woke' any road?

It implies the people who accuse them are still asleep and unaware.

That pretty much rules out attending any concert other than those by the likes of Steps or (for those of advancing years), "artists" under the banner of Stock-Aitken-Waterman then.
