    One benefit the world may see because of the Trump Presidency

    Artists tend to flourish when times are tough. They speak for those who have little influence individually.
    Quite a while since we've had a run of superstars.
    It can even affect young republicans as seen half way through this clip.

    That was at a time when artists sung/spoke for the voiceless people. Rebelled against the crooked establishment.


    Today's modern handpicked artists speak for political parties. Huge difference.

    Times have not been tough but are becoming so. No one handpicks a real artist.

    Can't speak for North America. But can't remember the last British artist who made it 'big' while openly speaking out against the establishment.


    Possibly Liam Gallagher?


    During the 70's & 80's most gifted artists came from the street and that showed in their music AND views.. Today's gifted artists are often privately educated, or well educated at the very least.

    I think you're missing the point. The shitstorm is brewing. Near future. Soon. As far as a filtered medium, it's never been less so.

    lol of course its filtered. The most 'influential' artists in the world are queuing up to stand behind career politicians.


    What more evidence do you need?


    Even if Trump was an uncontroversial moderate with no baggage. Those artists and actors would still have all lined up behind Hillary and the establishment.



    You speak like you don't even remember the 80's.

    A lot of this happened during a time when marijuana was legal in the US.

    you mean LSD. back then LSD was not only legal, but you were still able to get Sandoz (the pharmaceutical firm responsible for the acid in the USA at the time) brand. It wasn't until that ran out, that the Owsely method became the method to make LSD and that's the method still used today. Owsley Stanley toured with the dead, and was responsible for about 95% of the LSD that circulated in SF during the height of the counter culture movement in the 1960-70s

    (which is no doubt the type of acid that Janis Joplin etc took)



    pot had always been illegal since the Tax Stamp act of the 1930's.

    but it wasn't enforced.

    LSD on the other hand was perfectly legal.

    You are right. Thought the stamp act had been repealed in '67 and marijuana had not been made illegal till '70.
