If I can redirect, it's the numbness to the outrageous messages bolstered in society, and the outrage to those whose message echoes relevance - that needs to change.
In what way did Lupe Fiasco "expose the puppet's futility and corruption"? He chanted the chorus to one of his songs repeatedly for half an hour, then got booted by the organizers of the event who, as far as I can tell, are just a private company, not part of the government.
