Hi, What does anyone on these boards think about political based music, personally I'm a fan and think it works well when the artist actually cares about the issue they are on about .(any one seen that new live aid single?.....got me thinking, theres a few on that who look like they are there for a bit of self promo)

Some of my favorite artists write on almost 100% political issues like RATM ( www.ratm.com ), Immortal Technique ( http://www.newprohibition.com/imtech/bio.shtml ) , Paris ( http://www.guerrillafunk.com/paris/ ) and for a a good bit of social comment there is always Frank Zappa ( http://www.zappa.com/splash.html )..........
I know there are alot more artists, alot from before my time........

But anyway, anyone else into mixing politics with music or do you think that musicians should stick to just music?



Peace
