Trump Vs. Rock Royalty
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/08/16 | Jim O'Neill

If you value your freedom and desire less war, more job opportunities, higher wages, lower taxes, and fewer rules and regulations -- then vote Trump!

I read that “Queen” was not amused when their song “We are the Champions” was played when Trump first walked onto the stage during the Republican convention in Cleveland.

After muttering “F—k ‘Queen’” to myself, I began thinking about why so many rock icons favor the status quo, favor the establishment, favor keeping things just as they are. To call them “sell outs” doesn’t begin to describe their zombie-like fondness for marching in mindless lock-step with the globalist elites of the world.

Have they been phonies all along, and their rebellious act just that—an act and a fraud? Or is their fondness for the homogenized uniformity of globalization a more recent personality quirk?

“Rock Stars” work for big corporations.

Big corporations like big government.

“Rock stars” get much of their revenue outside the US. It pays to be a globalist in the music and entertainment business.

Interestingly enough, it's none other than the most insufferable of preachy leftist rock stars: Paul 'Bono' Hewson of U2 that sort of gets it about capitalism and free markets.
