Musicians, like many artistic and creative people, are often times some very messed up people. They walk a very fine line in their world of mental health. They also very often inflate their own self worth. Especially in politics.
Just like when Neil Young and Joni Mitchell threatened to pull out of Spotify over Joe Rogan. Well then,.. bye.
You sang a song, great. Your song achieved popularity and made you successful. Very great and good for you. But you put that song out there for public consumption. The connection that one listener finds in your tune might be very different from what another listener finds in your tune. Once you put it out there, you don't get to choose. You may have desired it to be an anthem for - this, but some else's ear hears - that. Big d@mn deal, get over it. You put it out there to make bank on it, you didn't do it for free.
Some of these tools hated it when they were made to put parental advisory and explicit lyric advisory labels on their product. Now those same people sound like they want an advisory label now that states - No Republican, Conservative, Right-Winger can spend money on this product, or ever find any affinity to this product, or use any portion of it for any talk show bumper music, or political rally motivator, or anything that maybe might p!ss the artist off twenty years down the road.
Maybe at Trump's next rally they can play "Man of Constant Sorrow" and we can hear the Soggy Bottom Boys complain. How about that?
Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.
