To come on the other side of this, musicians should be free to support whoever they like. The idea that people in the public eye should keep their mouths shut on politics baffles me.

Disagree for sure, if you feel really strongly about it go to their gig and shout “you suck”.

Nah, i think it’s pathetic. They never stand up for important things. Just lecture about political BS

I’ve spent the last 38 years in music and have always let artists know my views if necessary. I’ll be sure to carry on 🤙

I'm not saying you shouldn't... Saying the opposite of that. You can broadcast and opinion, so can they. Doesn't matter if you think they suck. Musicians get asked to do loads of stuff, some are more principled than others for sure.

Anyone who votes based on what a celebrity says is probably doing it wrong anyway. Unless it's Phil Collins, then definitely do that.

Out of curiosity, what do you do? Don't need to be massively specific, just interested on different takes within the industry.

we can all say whatever the fuck we want, this is true.

The lecturing from artists is dull though. They rarely stick their necks out which you’d want , it’s just virtue signalling compliant bollox most of the time
