I have visited the USA many times on business and holiday. The average American
is a very nice person but when one of them gets some power and is inclined to >bully they do it with gusto!
You mean the social justice wankers who made a big noise and harassed
her into cancelling the Tel Aviv concert?
Leave the lady alone, she was faced with a very difficult decision
Would a decision to stay out of politics really have been a difficult
one?
- maybe she >got it wrong, but how many of us have never done so?
It wouldn't have been just her decision. She is part of an industry
with a heirarchical management structure. They all got it wrong, and
now whether she or the management like it or not, the consequences of
this bad decision may adversely affect their revenue streams. Let it
be a lesson to all performance artists to keep their occupations
separate from their politics.
Time for these bullies to >leave her alone!
Bullies be damned. This is politics, and Team Lorde has just stepped
into it right up to their necks. In any case, who cares? Her music (if
it is indeed hers) is just a fart in a seemingly endless thunderstorm.
It is therefore of very little if any concern to most people.
Bill.
