In light if the furore over Ed Sheeran and the dropping of Macklemore

Proof that artists can survive supporting the people of Gaza

The lyrics for those who are interested

When people know they have no future
Can we blame them if we cannot tame them?
And when their hopes and dreams are broken
And they feel they might as well be dead
As they go, will we forgive them
If they take us with them?

Stay close
Stay home
Stay calm
Have faith

With the love of our family we can rise above anything
Someday surely someone must help us
With the love of our family we can rise above anything
Someday surely someone must help us
Even now we will go to school
Even now we will dream to dream
Someday surely someone must help us

Nothing's ever simple - that's for sure
There are grieving mothers on both sides of the wire
And everyone deserves a chance to feel the future just might be bright
But any way you look at it - whichever point of view
For us to have to live like this
It just aint right
It just aint right
It just aint right

We all want peace and freedom that's for sure
But peace won't come from standing on our necks
Everyone deserves a chance to feel the future just might be bright
But any way you look at this - whichever point of view
For us to have to live like this
It just aint right
It just aint right
It just aint right

It's like a nightmare rose up slouching towards Bethlehem
Like a nightmare rose up from this small strip of land
Slouching towards Bethlehem

It's like a nightmare rose up from this small strip of land
Slouching towards Bethlehem

Stay close
Stay home
Have faith

I can't know what twist of history did this to me
It's like a nightmare

With the love of our family
We can rise above anything
Some day surely someone must help us

I like to see musicians because they can actually make music, and actors because they can act.

If I want politics I’ll go listen to a politician.
meJess · F
@MrAverage1965 if you intend to portray only one side of killings then yes.
MrAverage1965 · 61-69, M
@meJess no one is denying that people have been killed on both sides but it does seem one side in this conflict has no intention of stopping any time soon
meJess · F
@MrAverage1965 still political which was my point.
TheHammer · M
Btw..

Four supporting acts including his touring band, Aaron Rowe, Beoga, Lukas Graham and Finneas, quit Tuesday in solidarity with Macklemore.
eds just not silly enough to alianate half of his audience.

if only more followed his lead..

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout

@TheHammer you guys are so right.
Ed should just jelly roll himself to appease youz

Let's see how long the canceling lasts. In an alternate universe, people are suffering woke fatigue.
MrAverage1965 · 61-69, M
@Strontium People are definitely getting frustrated with the increasingly woke world in which we live.

I didn't think Ed Sheeran has been a thing since like 2011.

I know the media is bored to d3ath right now (no new scandals) but why bring Sheeran back?

I do not keep up with celebrity gossip but I just imagined he was a has-been by now.
TheHammer · M
@SunSetStrut
True..

What is it they say??

The higher you fly the harder the fall yes?
SunSetStrut · 46-50
@TheHammer Something like that. I just do not get why Sheeran was a big deal before. I meard his music at work or whatever and it is so dull it makes Huey Lewis look worthy of a mosh pit.
TheHammer · M
@SunSetStrut

That's funny.
He's pretty big lots of people like his music. Just not my thing.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
I kind of missed out on the whole thing because I wouldn't know either one if i fell over them.
BohoBabe · M
It really is a white pill knowing that there actually are consequences for supporting a public genocide.
JoeXP · 56-60, M
I think it was the promoters that insisted that Macklemore be dropped because they couldn’t be associated with this:
