How can beer start a political debate?! Americans be crazy

No, seriously someone explain, what's the deal with that beer?

Google it. Absolutely no good will come from discussing it here.

Well calling it beer pisses me off!? Pun intended.

Google it. Absolutely no good will come from discussing it here.

So we’re discussing Lè Tarjèt?

Nah, not that interested. Good luck everyone!

I’m assuming you’re either outside of the US, or have just emerged from a nuclear bunker after spending years there, following the Cold War.

Yup, European.

 

[paisleywookiee]

Yup, European.

It's hard.... or, challenging.... when so much of music has been about rebellion, and rebellion
is about usurping authourity, and usurping authourity is inherently political.

Fuck, the history of music includes a sacred versus secular fight. At one point in time all music
in the West was a form of sacrament, and could only be used to prop up the Church. People had
to rebel against that authourity in order to write/perform music that did not serve the Church. It
was not given. It was claimed and disputed. The Church was the first Record Label commissioning
and controlling a composer's work.

Then fast forward to the 20th Century and you have several political rebellions that were inseparable
from music.

Jazz, Blues and the Civil Rights. Hippies, Psychedelia, and the Sexual Revolution. The Environmental movement,
Pete Seeger and Folk Music. You can't have one of those without the other.


But that is for someone's dissertation and not for a private forum owned and operated by people who
determine the rules of (mostly) friendly engagement.
