Shut up and sing

[Sign54]

Anyone feel that people like Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and Carrie Underwood should shut up and sing??? Their bigoted rants and pro MAGA performances add nothing to their music and alienates former fans. Most notably, I don’t like the fact Ye(like the dinosaur) is an open anti semite.

yea but also we should be able to just enjoy songs removing the person from the art though

Kid Rock couldn't add much to his music:

‘Cool Daddy Cool’.

Young ladies, young ladies
I like ‘em underage see
Some say that’s statutory
(Joe C.) But I say it’s MANDATORY!

I'm not buying Hitler's album.

Or run for political office with a promise of never singing again.

i can't recall the last time I even heard any of the above on radio.

I think it might have been the "werewolves of london/sweet home alabama" mashup that Kid Rock did back when Dubya was president.

This dude was a midget that Bob Ritchie kept around as a pet.

You left out Springsteen.

But you have no complaints about all the Hollywood types who, lacking intelligent thought, still stand up for foolish Democrats and socialism.

Political musicians can back up their statements by making political music, if they have that much talent. Most don't.

 

[Bray123]

Oh for the days of Lennon, 'Give Peace a Chance' and Harrison, 'Bangla Desh'.

 

[Hel_Books]

They had their singing at the 250 on the mall, but nobody showed up.

Whenever someone says "shut up and do xxx" it always makes me laugh.

It also makes me want to hear their message more than I did.

I always liked the Dixie Chicks' music. They decided to go political and fell off the radio. Lol.

Hollywood, like Mel Gibson, Kelsey Grammar, Holly Valance, and the late Scott Adams?

They tried putting him in a "anti superbowl"

Their next album after that went to #1 and yielded the biggest hit single (on the pop charts) of their career. Lol.

No, I'm talking more like Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, Jane Fonda, the fat bitch that moved to Ireland and the lesbian that gave up her citizenship. that moved overseas and wants to come back.

And yet no one gave up their citizenship.

Who gave up their citizenship?

Who gave up their citizenship?

Ellen Degeneres.

Ellen Degeneres.

Nope.

Ahhhh yes, I'd forgotten about Turning Point USA's pathetic attempt at counter-programming!

200 listless people standing around in a darkened warehouse-turned-"amphitheater" filmed days in advance. Kid Rock himself claimed a flub of his "should have been caught in post-edit", revealing the pre-taped faux concert.

Interestingly, Charlie Kirk seemed determined to make anti-Zionism the cornerstone of his youth network TPUSA.
Erica Kirk on the other hand, seems determined to make anti-immigration the new cornerstone of her youth network TPUSA.

It will be interesting to see the membership numbers for TPUSA if this "anti-immigration" focus gets traction. Gen-Z doesn't seem to take the Spanish language as an existential threat to Murican Exceptionalism the way that Boomers like BabyBoomers50 and Rightguide do.

Nope.

Yep.
