    While I get this sentiment (sarcasm I assume), I also understand musicians speaking out as they include so much of their politics in the music they write. It’s different than an actor where they are just paid to make pretend. Why would their opinion mean anything?

    Would their opinion mean more if they wrote a book? Or wrote for the ny times? Or ran for office? Why do we care about anybody’s opinions?

    People with large platforms and audiences speaking out for human rights is valid and important.

    Look how much stock Maga/Trump is putting in Kid Rock. Dude goes out there and sucks Trump's dick and people are listening. It's fucking stupid in this case, but it works.

    Artists have always been at the forefront of politics for progressives.
