i can see how the Beastie Boys are relevant but discussing about how skilled they are should really be talked about in Music......you two better quit it *glares angrily*

why not move this to music then?

or even to wisdom, due to the question i'm asking here:

what do you mean artists should quit being envolved in politics??? the day no artist sings about the world, the country, or even the village situation, we'll be locked inside our ignorance cage for good.
sure, there must be un-commited art, but COMMITED art is far much more important and relevant to mankind.

It's one thing to sing for a good cause.

It's entirely another to sing about how incompetent a world leader is and telling us how to think about such leader..

let's face it, there's some people over the age of 18 that are legal to vote, but aren't mature enough to make an intelligent decision based on the debates, facts, and their own research into politics.

This is basicly a way to sweep them into whatever political camp the band is in. If you look at who does this, they usualy don't even have a valid argument, it's mostly just about promoting this type of voting as a way to rebel against the system, when in reality you're playing into their hands. It's really only inches away from political propaganda.

I do like them for their lyrics.
but I dont like them for meaningful lyrical content is probably what I should have said.
