I LOVE political "discussions" with other less fortunate (less fortunate because they don't agree with me.) I can use my double-bass voice to outshout some of the best.
HOWEVER, in all seriousness, talking about music may not be as important to us in the long run but it is so much more fun.
Let's see, which of the President/former President/candidate's daughters could be compared to the Acadamy, Applause, Celeb, Balladeer and others? |

Location: SoCal | Made the mistake of going to a Joan Baez concert at San Diego State Univ in 70's - good performance but did not appreciate being accosted/solicited for money by those advocating anarchy, return of California to indigenous natives, etc.
Got so bad, interfered with the performance. A fair amount of people left. |

I Do. One of the functions of a good songwiter/musician/artist/performer, whether politicaly motivated or not, is as a chronicler of the times & situations in which they live, and this function has produced some of the most important & potent music of the last century. Personally I'd rather hear someone with passion, like Steve Earle or Mellancamp whether I aggree with them politically or not (though I do) than say The Carpenters or some fuckin' pussy like John Denver, or any of the countless other white-bread liberals, hipocrits, fence-sitters or record company whores out there. If music doesn't have an element of danger, or at least some genuine heartfelt conviction, then it's usually not worth listening to. Saw a Joan Baez concert on TV recently, I could just about stomach the politics but could't stomach the 3rd rate playing, singing & songwriting, |

Let me start by saying I agree that you have to be aware of whats going on around you. and yes some songwriters do chronicle the times very well. I truly believe That there's also room for moving ones heart.John Denver did some pretty good Love Songs. They're good Acoustic Guitar Tunes. He's not the only one. Jim Croce and James Taylor are some others. I don't worry About The politics of Songwriting as much as does the song truly tell a story or reach to your heart.Not all the Beatle Songs were Social Commentaries of the time some wer just fun Songs and some moved the heart.
In Other Words, Variety Is The Spice Of Life.
Not trying to turn Sappy on anyone, Just trying to say that Some Like variety. |

Location: Scotland | I'm a huge Croce fan, my band are currently working on a version of "Don't Mess Around with Jim" though I find listening to James Taylor the aural equivalent of watching paint dry. I don't think political statements are necessary or essential in music, but equally I don't dismiss it or shy away from it. If political comment was left solely to politicians or the media we'd all be screwed. |
