One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.
Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.
The Irish musicians, Beoga, who play alongside Ed Sheeran, have withdrawn from Sheeran’s tour.
This is the statement they published on Instagram:

She also recorded a really good version of Woody Guthrie's song about migrants and how badly this country and the media in it treat them.
Dolly Parton believed that Black Lives Matter and that Trans Lives Matter. What more is there to say? Rest well legend but more than your music, thank you for showing us how to be decent human beings. We need to follow your example now more than ever.

I know all y’all loved Dolly, but I don’t think I can fully express how important she was to us here in East Tennessee. She will always be an icon for showing us how to embrace our better selves & be good to each other, representing our region with pride & grace, and modeling relentless generosity.

If you want something to motivate you to be more like Dolly, I highly recommend the documentary STILL WORKING 9 to 5. It's all about how the film inspired real labor movements to improve workplace conditions for women, and how far we still have to go.
It's available to stream for free on Tubi.

Didn't know this until today but Dolly Parton had a transsexual man named Jason Pirro work as her Hollywood chauffeur in the 1980s, per an interview he gave to The Sun in 1990. "Dolly has been good to me...Dolly knows all about me."

On the subject of Dolly’s union/working class solidarity, her 9 to 5 LP included Woody Guthrie’s ´Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)’, a protest song about the racist mistreatment & media coverage of exploited Mexican farm workers who died when the plane deporting them crashed in 1948.

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them.
You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

This is just a recurring aspect of my thirties in a nutshell, favorite musicians making their livelihoods off of soundtracking films.
It's not actually that weird given the passage of time and Alex G's success, but it's very surreal to imagine telling 2013 me listening to the RL Kelly/Alex G split that I'd be hearing that guy's music in chain theaters in a decade.
