I think it's really dangerous. given the influence artists have over people it'd become some sort of campaign.
I believe musicians and artists in general have the right to express themselves in any way they want, but when you know you've got a hundred kids in the front row, and that they're not gonna double-think it...
having 'make trade fair' or 'stop global warming' flyers around the stage is one thing, making a concert in a '''vote for whoever it is''' is another thing. quite ridiculous and maybe a *little bit* of disrespect towards the audience who are there to share a music-al moment in history and have a good time.
im not saying they should not express what they think about the elections. or whatever...as long as they let it clear that its just their opinion.
what a topic.
