The point is, as always will be, indie rock elitism

doesnt work as well as populism. Every punk/alt

band in the world could hold a Warrior-type gathering

and it wouldnt make any difference. The only way

anything will change is if popular well known artists

come across with strong messages, if Kylie Minoge

had the politics of Martin Luther King then that would

be a shit load more helpful than The Fall having that

message. This is known as entryism, using popular

forms of art as a trojan horse to inject subversive ideas

into the mainstream.

To achieve change we must get this message to the largest

number of people, and to do this mainstream artists

must have productive messages. You could say that this doesnt always work, K Cera Cera didnt incite world peace

but there is more chance of the KLF making change

than The Levellers.
