As a music lover I am constantly limited in my conversation whenever I see live music or ge together with friends of similar musical tastes due to my political views. I think the same sweeping view of a world unadulterated by the shallowness of greed and corruption that allows these artists and balladeers to write such beautiful artistry severely limits their grounding in reality.
The only real problem with this is the growing inability of the young voter to separate art from artist from worldview from perspective. The art community functions in a way that benefits from the same system it rails against. Its this conflict that creates a creative dynamic.
I’ve seen the bias and the damage done.
