    Not an Ed fanboy but from what I’ve seen he seems like a decent human being and his stance on people do not go to concerts to see/hear political messages is so right!

    The Israeli/Palestine your atrocity is worse than our atrocity discussion is so STUPID!

    They are all bad and the mistreatment of any people to further a political agenda is abhorrent!

    We only have the dumb redhead Pauline Hanson to contend with but we are heading in the same direction sadly!

        Pop music generally isn’t. But I don’t tend to listen to pop. And nearly everything I do listen to is strongly political. Punk, goth, industrial etc. Normal people unfortunately strive to be ignorant and keep their heads down. Thinking it will get them further.

          No, but if your head is so deep in the sand that Macklemore being political is surprising I guess you get what you get

            Yes. I may not be a big Macklemore fan. But all this controversy over what he did is bullshit

        Most people who listen to music listen to music. They don’t read or understand lyrics or their hidden meanings. They even get the sentences wrong at times because they just like the rhythm and the sounds.

        The political message reaches those who want to hear it, but for everything else it might as well not even exist.

            Assume away. It’s probably because i like the sounds. Whatever the words are doesn’t matter if the music doesn’t resonate.

      No nice person tell another person that holding a Palestinian flag and free Palestine hurt genocide supporters feelings. Calling opposing genocide political is so disgusting. Fuck off with your bullshit
