Neil Young! New Protest Song!The old hippy song-writers are still calling out the criminals, but the young pop stars?

Neil Young!  New Protest Song!  The old hippy song-writers are still calling out the criminals,  but the young pop stars and rappers?    Nothing.

Afraid that they will loose $ and fans, from what I’ve read.  Imagine selling-out to the fascists when you’re just 25 or 30.  What a miserable , small, boring life .

(Yes, Taylor Swift has taken a stand when she can. )

Thank you reading my rant. 😎

but DAMN, you'd think they'd be even more worried... for themselves and THEIRS.

And yes, I know there are many getting involved and active. But considering what's at stake, the degree of disconnect among many, especially the 'who's who' in sports and entertainment, is, imo, mind boggling.

Broadbrush much?

What a nasty, hateful OP.

Also, how much newer artist music do you listen to in order to make an absolute statement like that?

You should self delete this rubbish.
