It seems strange that mostly anti-right wing musicians are loud enough to hear and covered by the media.  I mean, is anyone really listening to Hank Williams Jr. when he says Obama doesn’t like the national anthem?  Even I had to search a few strings to find that one.  Clearly the question should be are right wing musician’s affecting the masses?  We know the left wing is, they are the ones we keep seeing in the media.

            What about during non-election years?  Where is the voice and what affect does it have on the captive audience?  Overwhelmingly, it seems to be a good thing.  Even those that answered they prefer not to hear political commentary, say they are glad to hear about other issues. The whole concept of 'getting the word out' is based on sharing information with as many people as you can and hoping that they, in turn, also spread the word.  Creator of The Voyeur, Dreama said, "Being an artist, songwriter, somewhat of an entertainer myself, I believe music and politics go hand and hand.  It’s how we get the word out.” 

            This is a good thing. There will be those that follow anything 'Celebrity B' brings attention to, but how much credence can we give those people?

            Another question we posed was, 'What types of responsibilities regarding public welfare are put on entertainers?'   A repetitive response was essentially a celebrity, like any human being, must first be responsible to themselves.  Reader Stephanie said “there are some sycophants out there, but all celebrities have a responsibility to themselves first," while Singer/Songwriter Nelson Clemente felt that a celebrity should be well versed on the subject before opening their mouth and certainly take responsibility for passionately endorsing something (interpreted to also mean anti-endorsement as well).  Doug, a musician, said, “In a positive sense, it could bring an awareness to an issue so others might be able to give aid to a cause.  (AIDS, the homeless, civil rights)  A good case is the song Ohio by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.  I was not aware of the Kent State tragedy until I heard the song.  In a negative sense, it could create a 'hero worship' mentality to oppose or protest just for the sake of protesting or to adopt the views of a person just because they are a celebrity.”
