Just wanted to know what you think about this mesh in style.

The Kerry vs. Bush election was indeed probably the largest most influential election we've had. And if some agree well let's just say it garnered more support than past elections. So influential to the point where music was involved as a tool of advertisement, propaganda, ect. Sometimes it worked for the better. Eminems song "Mush" exploded his career much further because of his "f___ Bush!" remark. While it destroyed other's like the Dixie Chicks.

Recently NIN wanted to play their song infront of a President Bush backdrop on MTV. MTV denied the oppurtunity and NIN decided to withdraw from MTV's attention because of it. Bite the hand that feeds you in front of the president's picture may be deemed offensive but it's obvious their message was conveyed.

I noticed in Green Day's new album they've made references also about the presidency and what not. It's become a widespread thing. Even in some hiphop albums it's been discussed.

So do you prefer music with or without a political undertone?

Personally I don't like it. When I listen to an artist I want to hear the originality that makes that group what they are. Not the defilement of politics and individuals. It just really demolishes the entire reason we make music. Because of what we feel. But if people feel your music and you begin spattering political agenda. It's a real turn off for some people.
