This idea that “a band won’t end a war” is such a foolish way to view using platforms of visibility. If you have a level of reach that not everyone is afforded, maybe you should use it in a way that is beneficial to the world? Even if only to show others that it’s ok to speak up.

Bob Vylan Presents the Price Of Life is number 18 in the UK album charts, 4 in the vinyl charts and number 3 in the independent charts! Competing with million pound and billion pound labels and none of those artists can say they own their masters, their publishing and the label!

US and UK forces bombing Yemen, a country that has not attacked the US or the UK, all to help protect Israel’s continued genocide in Gaza.
US and UK forces have launched air, ship, and submarine strikes against Yemen’s Houthis in response to the group’s attacks on Red Sea shipping over Israel’s war in Gaza.

Let me just be clear! This is NOT cool. Not in the slightest. I’m on stage talking about my experience and relationship with this country as a Black man, and a white woman decides that I’m not allowed to voice my opinion in that way because it upsets her!?
While this was a strangely comical situation, it is such a flagrant display of privilege and entitlement that she was able to get on stage and felt she had the right to shout at me about her disagreeing with our lyrics IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR SHOW! It’s mind blowing
