But it sounds quite a bit like you're saying that if an artist doesn't make music that reflects all of their passions then those other passions don't exist at all, which is quite clearly bull****. A director can make all of their films about aliens and be passionate about animal rights. That director's art doesn't negate that.

And do you think it might be possible that some artists aren't willing to alienate audience members by getting all preachy? Or that they may not be able to write a good song outside of a certain style they're familiar with and can't write a good song about one of their passions? I know you like to look at the modern music world through a blindfold but your leaving out a multitude of factors by saying 'well they don't make music about it so I guess they just don't care about it.'
