Soulflower, the burden of proof is on you to back up your statement saying that modern artists don't contribute as much as other artists did. You can't just go "nope, not true because I don't like that idea" when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about with these regards to modern pop stars and charities. If you did, backing your claims would be no problem. Wanna give it a go?

No ****. My point was that those other mediums are becoming the norm whereas the glory days that you yearn for had a norm of social issues being relegated to the music world.

That agenda is money. Money made from people who listen to the music that the corporations make. Music that they like from those corporations. BTW, you got a tin foil hat I can borrow?
