The artist is the artist. This is just a bunch of nonsense. "The artist is the artist." Oh, that just takes care of it then. The artist has to be accepted for whatever she does. This is stupid leftism. Artists must appeal to the tastes of patrons just like everyone else. What if the artist has new material which is extremely political (but sung instead of spoken)? Are you saying they can't perform their new material without the public's prior consent? No one is saying they can't do whatever in hell they wish to do. What I am saying is that it is immoral to use one brand in order to attract people ad then hit them with inflammatory material. You are completely overlooking the community that is implied by these advertisements. People hear the ads, reflect on their past through the music, take their spouses to hear the music live, and at considerable expense and effort, only to have the entire night destroyed by an inflammatory political speech that has nothing to do with the advertised product. It is just wrong. You reveal what you are by supporting this trash.
