My point is that there is something so utterly
offensive about telling a fellow artist that he should re-do his art in order to
reflect one's own political beliefs and perspectives.
It would be entirely appropriate to vocalize and
register your disagreement, but to suggest to the artist that he should CHANGE
his art to make you feel better and to satisfy your own idea of "fairness" is
outrageous.
It would also be appropriate for you to decide to
create art with an opposing message as a rebuttal. But to tell him he should
change his piece to reflect your own views? Outrageous!! Does anyone else here
see that massive danger with this (with your own RIGHT to express your view
through your art) or should I spell it out?

Hey Fro
love your
set-up there, great sound too - I have to say that if I didnt know your work
better, the stream of (Im guessing dead) soldiers appears to be a
celebration of their lives and their choice to support the politics of war. I
dont think you meant that?
I think its a moving and relevant message, when
one understands what you are trying to do, I feel that it may be
misinterpreted however, and as Gareth pointed out, depictions of the
casualties of war, must be predominately made up of those innocents that are
being slaughtered needlessly by our governments, and not those "heros" (ironic
exclamation points) who chose this killing career path.
Howabout a new
video with faces from the "other side" Same song- same take even... identical
in every way, apart from the faces? Now THAT would be an interesting couple of
videos, that would surly go viral?
Keep up the videos Fro my
bro..
you are a talented guy
