And as someone who makes music myself, I'm looking at all of this from the perspective of an artist. And honestly? I don't fucking care. I don't care which celebrity is supposedly on which side.

You've got two American musicians getting increasingly involved in a conflict happening thousands of miles away, neither of whom is directly involved in it, and now we're supposed to watch them argue over which side is right. That's whe...
