Poetic Podcast Episode 21 Bop

Avoiding taboo and chasing followers has taken art in a bromidic direction; Everyone’s so worried about blowback! Creativity is now clouded imagery; Softened up playing to the masses, no longer willing to be a little offensive; If the musicians won’t sing about it, if the Industry won’t make films about it? The poets WILL speak up; Left without fiery creators or leaders, now we are starved for open discussion; Frustration will find a nasty outlet rooted in everything except logic; Blessed with a much broader reach but the artists sit locked in a chokehold; What does an empty vessel lead to? A feverish rise of audience aggression; If the musicians won’t sing about it, if the Industry won’t make films about it? The poets WILL speak up; Where are the actor’s grandiose roles, don’t you see something is missing? Not just the backdrop music is life, what is the future of rock stars? Armed with words chosen to intrigue, writers will take hold of the reins; If the musicians won’t sing about it, if the Industry won’t make films about it? The poets WILL speak up.
