- It’s about the music, not the lifestyle…
Something has bothered me for quite some time now. Not to the extent of going crazy over it, but just enough to make me itch a bit. It is one of those issues that originates with people’s ignorance and narrowmindedness (is that a word?). Back when the Dixie Chicks made their famous statement saying how ashamed they were of being from the same state as The President, the people of America went on a ban of Dixie Chicks music altogether. Even the majority of country stations stopped playing their songs. I’ll admit, I went with it for a while… until I realized how stupid that was. I love music, all kinds. Except rap, but we can discuss later about if rap is actually music or not. Back to my point. I love music, for the music. When I listen to something, I’m thinking about the notes and the words and the arrangement, not the artist’s political views or social habits. It’s about the music, not the artists’ lifestyles. I absolutely do not agree with the Dixie Chicks making that statement, and I have not nor will I purchase their release which followed the scandal. But their mistake does not make their first 3 cds worthless. They sound the same now as before. The fact that I still listen to those cds does not mean I support their viewpoints. Would it be assumed that I support drug use because I listen to Guns ‘n’ Roses? Of course not, and no one would even begin to think that. So why should I ignore great music, simply because of something the artist says or believes? If I did, I would be missing out on a lot of great music from people like Ozzy, GNR, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine. Jimmy Page from Led Zepplin was and still is known as the “Prince of Darkness” and has some pretty far out and definitely non-Christian beliefs, but that does mean that I will ever hate “Stairway to Heaven.” That would just be sacrilige.
Thank you. Good night, and good evening.
