Transcript
A three-panel political comic by Slyngstad highlighting the long history of political activism in music. In the foreground of all three panels, two audience members are seen talking in profile.
Panel 1:
On Stage: A modern musician holding a microphone calls out, “FREE PALESTINE!”
Foreground: One audience member complains, “UGH, WHEN DID MUSICIANS START TO BE SO POLITICAL?”
Panel 2:
On Stage: Freddie Mercury performing at the 1985 Live Aid benefit concert, with the “Live Aid” global logo in the background.
Foreground: The second audience member replies, “START?”
Panel 3:
On Stage: Folk singer Woody Guthrie playing an acoustic guitar with his iconic slogan written across it: “THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS”.
Foreground: The second audience member continues, “MAYBE YOU JUST WEREN’T LISTENING.”
Rage Against the Machine but not like in a political way or anything, just like, noises and anger and centrism
You won’t believe the amount of right wingers who believe RATM are right wing. I assume because they sound angry?
“Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me” is kind of universal, but you’d think “Some of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses” would have been a hint towards which side they lean towards.
You overestimate the rightoid mindset. “Police support the KKK? Well surely the KKK are respectable company.”
Songs from Paul Ryan’s workout playlist
He’s singing along,
“Some of those that work forces, are the same that wear crosses”
You can imagine his thoughts on “chosen whites”
what you’ve described is AI generated music
Nah, that’s rage BY and probably FOR the machine
