Review to come later. But they did an excellent cover of Billy Talent’s Try Honesty. Nice.
– I was speaking to a gentleman last night who did not appreciate when people (who have access to the masses) express their points of view without providing a disclaimer. Examples of people he spoke about were Bono of U2 (using the forum of his concerts to express the need to help the impoverished), Oprah Winfrey (expressing views of who she supports in an election) or even Jared Paul (a spoken word artist opening for Raine Maida who expressed his thoughts on various issues around the world through spoken word/poetry.).
This gentleman also indicated that he is fine with these people expressing their views if they add the disclaimer “You should inform yourselves of all sides of the story and not just take my views as Gospel.” He was upset that there are clearly apathetic blind followers out there that simply agree with a view because “Bono said so.”
Discuss.
– In this digital age, it is hard not to see the following scene: You are in a crowd and an artist is on the stage. In your direct line of view is the person in front of you holding up their digicam and you can see the artist through the viewscreen as well as seeing the actual person on stage. I thought that would make an interesting album cover…what’s more important to these people? Watching the real thing or watching the real thing through a screen?
