When did it become compulsory for celebrities to be political activists?

I mean Dolly met a lot of presidents too but she wasn’t cancelled for not opining on Palestine

But Dolly, God love her, was unusual! Country was often political. Loretta Lynn campaigned for the Bushes. Willie Nelson dug George McGovern... Vietnam was every bit as bitter as Gaza.

When did it become compulsory for shit weasel failed fashion students to be political activists

When did it become the aim of politicians to be celebrities. Look in the mirror

I guess when 30,000 children died in Gaza. Or were people like Vera Lynn being political by singing for troops in WWII?

Probably about the same time County Councillors started believing they were important political figures.

Why is @reformparty_uk not posting opinion polls anymore?

When they decided they could possibly loose money if they chose the "wrong side"

Soon we will have bus drivers delivering their political views to their captive audience before pulling off. I mean, why are their views less relevant than anyone else's? Will your dentist be regaling you next?

If they want to be rewarded with jobs, they do it. That is why the most vocal get job after job after job.......

no they did not ever comment on politics. they were far too afraid to offend the govt. of their day. Dolly would never talk politics, she just made life better for thousands. We need to follow her example.❤️🧡💛

Your Spotify must be fucking lifting

When they stopped having talent.

Pete, Segar, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and many more. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting programme devoted to inspiring a love of reading in the hearts of children everywhere including the Uk

Protest songs have been around for centuries. Well before Elvis etc

When did it become compulsory for political activists to to become celebrities Dazzle? Like Nigel

elvis held a press conference and accidentally invented political merchandise

The problem with "everything is political" is how destructive it is. Look at the last 15 years. Everyones fighting, everyone's divided. People used to laugh more, get along more. It's not about ignoring politics. It's about putting it down sometimes so we can all get along.

It was around the time that so many far right politicians became sleazy, divisive, hate-mongering bastards.

John Lennon was the first to crossover from entertainment. Tosser but a great musical talent.

Perhaps have a look at what DP spent millions on and why.

This post just proves how fucking stupid you are Ever heard of bono Public Enemy Rage Against the Machine Midnight Oil Chumbawamba Etc etc ?

When it makes them money

60's probably.

Different times, no wokerati bully cancel culture then

Don’t they have the right to be ?

It was never compulsory but the choice is to stay away from politics or nail your colours to the mast and lose half your fans. Applies to both sides in any debate. Let’s not pretend otherwise. The decision is up to the celebrity themself. Simple as that.

Ok so if an ordinary guy called me honey I'd fume. Elvis with that accent? Hell yeah

@GoodKingLou It didn’t. But you could start with artists like Woody Guthrie from the 1930’s But it has always been a medium used by numerous musicians for a century or so to highlight numerous injustices

A long time Crafty, a long time. If it wasn’t for “people, including celebrities, being political, you would still be pretending you were straight.

@edsheeran you ginger woke cunt
