Politics and Music

Question: A lot of artist would say that mixing arts and politics is wrong. That their goal is only to entertain. What would you say to those people?

Roger Waters: [I]f you’re not interested in any of this, if you’re one of those “Roger I love Pink Floyd but I hate your fucking politics,” if you believe artists should be mute, emasculated, nodding dogs dangling aimlessly over the dashboard of life, you might be well advised to fuck off to the bar now, because, time keeps slipping away.” That’s my answer to your question.
