Having opinions != virtue signalling. Some people do in fact believe the views they present in their art. And it's not like Neil Young has recently jumped on the bandwagon, he's been at it for 50+ years!
- 0x737368 5y agoOh yes - though each time his opinions backfired on him he went and did a 180 on them in some way as long as he gets dry out of the water. What an amazing role-model indeed. And you can have your opinions quietly instead of standing on the rooftops and tooting songs in your own name. If people find out that someone, say, does charity work that speaks a lot more powerfully than someone that does a photo-op and then advertises to everyone what a truly generous person there is. So which out of these is having opinions, which is virtue signalling, and to which column does Mr Neil Young apply to?
