racehorse brings up a good point about forcibly trying to isolate it self from the world around them,
after the last few posts, it occurs to me going back to 2002 to present there has been a very conscious effort by an artist to make music that embraces relevancy to the world situation especially of the presidential variety, i personally find much of is rather forced, saying for the sake of saying, and the.......well lets use 'sonic nurse' under the spotlight you have two very different political songs on there "peace attack" by Thurston which is blatant, overly so even, then 'Paper Cup Exit' which is more subtle and it seems the song is formed around the words, and not the other way around like with the former
i think music and art is dictated by the world atmosphere, but it seems when it strive to push for change itself it there is outside influence always dictating it, it's kinda cyclic, but i think is the beginning,
or maybe i am wrong and i don't understand the question which for some reason i feel
