If an influential band can affect their fans positively and choose not to, they won't get my vote!
Yeah I think that's the issue.. I think we're all agreed that bands aren't responsible for fans doing stupid things.. I think we all disagree with that 80's PMRC campaign against rock bands etc.. it goes without saying. But just be mindful of what you are putting out there, don't do it with an ignorant and irresponsible heart.
You guys are absolutely going to hate me for saying this but, out of all the rock bands that we have and that have been around for ages.. it took Lady Gaga to say the words that I was trying to describe.. ironic eh ?
'If you're in a position of responsibilty then you have a moral obligation to try and make the world a better place.'
This is not a debate about Lady Gaga either so let's not even go there
But she pretty much summed up what I believe.. I don't mean we all have to sing about flowers and rabbits etc, but if you have a platform in this world to air your art then don't waste it. A lot of people out there would give anything to be in that position, so the least you can do is use it to try and improve people's lives by inspiring them and being an example to believe in.
