'People pay money to go and see an artist perform. They don’t go to hear their often very uneducated views on world affairs.'
@PatrickChristys slams the backlash Ed Sheeran has received for removing Macklemore from his tour after making a series of 'free Palestine' speeches.
@hasanthehun Your honestly the most clueless motherfucker out there. It amazes me you make millions of dollars to shit on the country thats made you as fortunate as you are.
The fact that Ed Sheeran is now the one being bullied is indicative of the toxic nature of the entire “free Palestine” cause.
No one is taking away anyone’s right to speak their mind, but that doesn’t mean you get to compel speech — especially about a political opinion, from someone else (Ed). The conduct of Macklemore and several other artists is pathetic, bigoted, and frankly disgusting.
We don’t pay to see shows for political rallies. We pay to see a concert. Any artists who thinks it’s incumbent upon them to take political stands for “fans” should get a good hard reality check. Let’s musicians be musicians.
