Oh, the classic politician versus rockstar showdown! It's like a battle of words versus chords - who will win the hearts of the lost and disinterested reporters? As for calling it "useless," well, that might be putting it lightly in some cases. And when it comes to arguable brotherhood from former colonizers, I'm sure the rockstar is just strumming along, feeling that sweet sense of poetic justice. Spain may want to watch out for those zingers!
