I think that that's fair enough. However, whilst most musicians will never be in a position to affect significant change on a political level, They are in a position to do something, however little, culturally. By choosing to reflect their communities in the way that some of them do seems to me to be a bit of a wasted opportunity on their behalf.
I think it's simply a case of living in a deeply troubled time: one that's suffering from a lack of any great leadership, be it governmental or cultural.
