And something that's been in the news a little bit this week is the furor around Ed Sheeran, one of his pre-act performers, made a political statement.
I don't need to say what the political statement is, so depending on when you listen to this, you can go back and you can find what it was.
then it's just caused this uproar and people, you know, kind of boycotting Ed Sheeran, et cetera, et cetera, because he, I don't know the full details of it, but, because of what was said and he, I think Ed Sheeran got rid of the act and that's had then a spinoff effect on other artists, you know, objecting to what he's done, et cetera, et cetera.
And then he's come out with a statement, which, I mean, it's an official statement, whether he's written it or whether media, his media people have written it or it's a combination, we don't know.
But he made a point which was around the fact that he's an artist, the concerts are there to provide entertainment, and I'm paraphrasing here, and it's not a platform for political speech and not to downgrade the message but he's saying that there are plenty of other platforms on which to make that same point, and this isn't that platform.
And so you come away and think about that objectively and depending on your thoughts on the exact political issue or humanitarian issue, whatever you want to call it, you're going to be strongly aligned one way or the other.
It is, but then just if you can step away from that for a moment and just think, hmm, well, these artists aren't politicians.
Do we need them to be making political statements? And you can find it on YouTube.
There's a press conference that Elvis did, and it was around the 60s when he was asked about the Vietnam War and his views on that, et cetera.
Because, of course, we all have views, right? And we all have certain things that we follow in life.
I mean, typically the ones that are the most controversial are to do with politics and religion.
