Not interested in any of the people listed. Not interested in boycotts or blacklists either. Just don’t think they’re that effective.

On the contrary, blacklists (when held firm) are incredible effective.

The so-called blacklist of Hollywood Communists (REAL card carrying Communists) was not fully supported by the studios. Pseudonyms were used so that the ticket buying public who WAS looking for the involvement of certain names would not know of the participation. I doubt that at key places in production and check writing, someone didn't know.

Meanwhile conservatives ARE blacklisted by Hollyweird. If you back Obama, you get magazine coverage (by the same corporate media that owns the tv/film studios and record labels).

Without the support, it's as if you don't exist.

The music I listen to IS largely off the radar of the mainstream (because I don't listen to music on radio, pop40, moldy gold 70s/80s, or left of the dial taxpayer subsidized Pacifica or NPR). A lot of things weren't recognized in their time by the masses because the suits had some other act to sell.

I'm not hurting for entertainment, but the culture at large doesn't mean a flip to me because it is openly hostile to me, my politics, God and country.
