Political pop that could actually change the world

[imomus]

Eminem Mosh. He says 'Fuck Bush'. He says 'No more blood for oil'. He says 'Kerry on, give me hope'. He says 'Vote on November 2nd'. And the imagery in the video says a lot more. A message like this, from a star as big as Eminem, could actually change the outcome of the US election. Who says pop music is all neutered, spayed and tame? Who says that nothing anyone says makes a blind bit of difference? As brilliantly political as anything Bob Dylan did at the height of the 60s protest boom. Positively Brechtian.

Springsteen....

[(Anonymous)]

If I remember correctly , it was the Republican's campaign that used "Born in the USA" and Springsteen politely asked them to stop (while willfully NOT endorsing any candidate).
Caught your point about stupidity, politics, and pop music....but be extra careful when you bring it up. Come correct, (Don't go blaming the wrong party.) right?
