ARTISTS TALK POLITICS

The debate has long raged about the appropriateness of entertainment and sports figures using their celebrity as a soapbox from which to voice their political views, but the stakes are especially high in this election, and we’re behind anyone persuasively advancing the cause of sanity.

Case in point: Thom Yorke said very little during Radiohead’s 8/4 show at the Shrine in L.A., but he briefly broke his silence to make a suggestion to the crowd, according to L.A. Times reviewer Chris Barton. Just before the band launched into “No Surprises,” Yorke offered, “I’ve got a great idea: Let’s put an unhinged, paranoid megalomaniac in charge.”

Actress (Charmed, Tarantino’s Grindhouse), sometime singer and former Marilyn Manson main squeeze Rose McGowan was a bit more detailed in expressing her opinion about the presidential race. On Wednesday, her publicist disseminated an open letter whose specified recipients were “CNN, Fox, CBS, ABC, NBC, Viacom, the Murdochs and Donald J. Trump” regarding what she called “State of Epidemic/Zika 2.” It’s reprinted here, in copy-edited form. “Dear Enablers and Donald,” she began…

After the Republican National Convention, I wrote an open letter to a rabid Trump supporter. I realize now the letter was for you, Donald and media men. It’s you I’ve been wanting to talk to. You who have been stressing me and most of the nation out to the point of a diagnosable sickness. WE ARE BEING POISONED. We, the public, are being sickened by an ever-expanding assault on our right to live a healthy and free life. Donald & you ratings driven colluders are holding us the public hostage and exposing us to disease. A massive DISease.

Our symptoms are knots in our shoulders, sick feelings in the pit of our vaginas, stomach tightness, shortness of breath, wildly elevated stress levels- we are now chronically experiencing a true mass illness.

Caused by you. You all had a hand in this. You must take ownership of this situation.

You are causing a worldwide sickness. You are POISONING us as sure as Flint is poisoning its citizens. You are poisoning your very own family and us, your brothers and sisters.

This is real. We are sick. Living with your daily reign of terror cancer, and it is terror cancer, is something we are unwilling to do for another minute. I do not want to live my life this way. I am a proud AMERICAN & GLOBAL CITIZEN whose head is bowed to her knees in because she is sickened every day. Because of you. It is NOT most of America who should be ashamed, it is YOU for propagating this propaganda.

We, the public, need for you to look for your humanity. We, the public, need you to think differently and to do better. Think different. Do better. It’s that easy to be a better person and to do the right thing no matter the cost. The time is now.

Stop poisoning humanity. Go rogue, reverse course, be BRAVE. He is a murderer in the making. Do NOT AID AND ABET A CRIME.

UNPLUG THE MICROPHONES

STOP COVERING HIM

TURN THE LIGHTS OUT

STOP THE CANCER

It is time to RISE and say NO MORE
