I’m with you, I remember the 60s protests were fueled by righteous music and later on film.

Renouncing potential commercial sales for standing up for what you believe is a tough decision for some commercial artists. The most honest artists make the obvious choice.

And I emphasize the word commercial. Standing up for $$ is all some know or want.

It’s just business, not art.
