[M]From the Times:
I was doing press with somebody in the mid-90s[/M], and they made an argument that stayed with me: that I have influence, and that it’s my job to call out whatever needs to be called out, because there are people who feel the same way but need someone to articulate it.

NIN’s new release is the third of a trilogy that started with 2016’s “Not the Actual Events” and includes 2017’s “Add Violence,” and documents the downward spiral (if you will) of society.
Speaking to the New York Times, Reznor said the thinly veiled anti-Trump overtones of his new work comes from an obligation he feels to use his influence to address current events. He also said, “You don’t hear a lot from the Taylor Swifts of the world, and top-tier, needle-moving cultural youth, because they are concerned about their brand, their demographic and their success and career and whatnot.”
And there you have it: a celebrity beef between the 50-something industrial rocker and the 20-something pop star.
Fittingly, the easily distracted nature of a society bound for hell is key to the condition that besets the agonized central character of the spellbinding “Bad Witch,” a six-song collection that finds grim beauty in fatalism, a sonic mix of chaotic aggression and abject resignation.
Reznor is consumed by the bracing distortion of the opening track as he observes, “I’m becoming something new/It’s getting hard to recognize” – a thought further delineated in the agitated percolation of the subsequent “Ahead of Ourselves,” where he notes, “Not quite as clever as we think we are/Knuckle-dragging animal/When we could have done anything.” He shuts down higher-power salvation, too, on “God Bread Down the Door”: “You won’t find the answers here/Not the ones you came looking for.”

[M]Swift[/M] broke from her apolitical persona by publicizing that she [M]made a donation to March for Our Lives following the Stoneman Douglas school shooting in Parkland[/M].

[M]You don’t hear a lot from[/M] the Taylor Swifts of the world, and [M]top-tier[/M], needle-moving cultural [M]youth[/M], because they are concerned about their brand, their demographic and their success and career and whatnot.
|
NIN’s new release is the third of a trilogy that started with 2016’s “Not the Actual Events” and includes 2017’s “Add Violence,” and documents the downward spiral (if you will) of society.
Speaking to the New York Times, Reznor said the thinly veiled anti-Trump overtones of his new work comes from an obligation he feels to use his influence to address current events. He also said, “You don’t hear a lot from the Taylor Swifts of the world, and top-tier, needle-moving cultural youth, because they are concerned about their brand, their demographic and their success and career and whatnot.”
And there you have it: a celebrity beef between the 50-something industrial rocker and the 20-something pop star.
Fittingly, the easily distracted nature of a society bound for hell is key to the condition that besets the agonized central character of the spellbinding “Bad Witch,” a six-song collection that finds grim beauty in fatalism, a sonic mix of chaotic aggression and abject resignation.
Reznor is consumed by the bracing distortion of the opening track as he observes, “I’m becoming something new/It’s getting hard to recognize” – a thought further delineated in the agitated percolation of the subsequent “Ahead of Ourselves,” where he notes, “Not quite as clever as we think we are/Knuckle-dragging animal/When we could have done anything.” He shuts down higher-power salvation, too, on “God Bread Down the Door”: “You won’t find the answers here/Not the ones you came looking for.”

When asked if he felt a responsibility as an artist to weigh in on politics, Reznor said that for him, the need for an influential musician to speak out on injustice outweighs the impulse to protect their career. From the Times:
I was doing press with somebody in the mid-90s, and they made an argument that stayed with me: that I have influence, and that it’s my job to call out whatever needs to be called out, because there are people who feel the same way but need someone to articulate it. And I think about that today, because it seemed like it was a lot easier to just keep your mouth shut and let it go back then. You don’t hear a lot from the Taylor Swifts of the world, and top-tier, needle-moving cultural youth, because they are concerned about their brand, their demographic and their success and career and whatnot.
Swift, who started out as a country artist before crossing over as a pop star, has avoided taking public stances on most political issues. On Election Day in 2016, she posted a photo to Instagram of herself in line at her local polling station with a caption urging people to go vote. Swift herself has never disclosed who she was voting for nor spoken up about the current administration. Swift broke from her apolitical persona by publicizing that she made a donation to March for Our Lives following the Stoneman Douglas school shooting in Parkland. It’s been theorized that Swift avoids discussing politics to avoid alienating the more conservative factions of her fanbase.

When asked if he felt a responsibility as an artist to weigh in on politics, Reznor said that for him, the need for an influential musician to speak out on injustice outweighs the impulse to protect their career. From the Times:
I was doing press with somebody in the mid-90s, and they made an argument that stayed with me: that I have influence, and that it’s my job to call out whatever needs to be called out, because there are people who feel the same way but need someone to articulate it. And I think about that today, because it seemed like it was a lot easier to just keep your mouth shut and let it go back then. You don’t hear a lot from the Taylor Swifts of the world, and top-tier, needle-moving cultural youth, because they are concerned about their brand, their demographic and their success and career and whatnot.
Swift, who started out as a country artist before crossing over as a pop star, has avoided taking public stances on most political issues. On Election Day in 2016, she posted a photo to Instagram of herself in line at her local polling station with a caption urging people to go vote. Swift herself has never disclosed who she was voting for nor spoken up about the current administration. Swift broke from her apolitical persona by publicizing that she made a donation to March for Our Lives following the Stoneman Douglas school shooting in Parkland. It’s been theorized that Swift avoids discussing politics to avoid alienating the more conservative factions of her fanbase.

In an interview with the New York Times, Trent Reznor discussed what compels him to speak out on the current political climate and President Trump, and why younger pop artists shy away from taking similar public stances.
When asked if he felt a responsibility as an artist to weigh in on politics, Reznor said that for him, the need for an influential musician to speak out on injustice outweighs the impulse to protect their career. From the Times:
I was doing press with somebody in the mid-90s, and they made an argument that stayed with me: that I have influence, and that it’s my job to call out whatever needs to be called out, because there are people who feel the same way but need someone to articulate it. And I think about that today, because it seemed like it was a lot easier to just keep your mouth shut and let it go back then. You don’t hear a lot from the Taylor Swifts of the world, and top-tier, needle-moving cultural youth, because they are concerned about their brand, their demographic and their success and career and whatnot.
Swift, who started out as a country artist before crossing over as a pop star, has avoided taking public stances on most political issues. On Election Day in 2016, she posted a photo to Instagram of herself in line at her local polling station with a caption urging people to go vote. Swift herself has never disclosed who she was voting for nor spoken up about the current administration. Swift broke from her apolitical persona by publicizing that she made a donation to March for Our Lives following the Stoneman Douglas school shooting in Parkland. It’s been theorized that Swift avoids discussing politics to avoid alienating the more conservative factions of her fanbase.

Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara; Stone Town, September 5, 1946—London, November 24, 1991) was a British singer, pianist and songwriter known for his work with the British rock band Queen, which he was part of from 1970 until the year of his death (1991). Freddie became known for his powerful tone of voice and his energetic performances that involved interaction with the audience, having been regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time.
As a songwriter, Mercury created most of Queen's greatest hits such as "We Are the Champions", "Love of my Life", "Killer Queen", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Somebody to Love" and "Don't Stop Me Now". In addition to his work in the band, Mercury has also released several side projects, including a solo album, Mr. Bad Guy, in 1985, and a record of opera with Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé, Barcelona, in 1988. Mercury died of bronchopneumonia , brought on by AIDS, in 1991, a day after having publicly acknowledged the disease.
His work with Queen still generates recognition to this day: Mercury is cited as the main influence of many other singers and bands. In 2006, he was named the greatest African celebrity of all time and was also named the greatest band leader in history in a public poll organized by American MTV. In 2008, he ranked eighteenth on Rolling Stone Magazine's "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" list, and the following year Classic Rock named him the greatest vocalist in rock and roll. With Queen, Mercury has sold over 150 million records worldwide.

Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara; Stone Town, September 5, 1946—London, November 24, 1991) was a British singer, pianist and songwriter known for his work with the British rock band Queen, which he was part of from 1970 until the year of his death (1991). Freddie became known for his powerful tone of voice and his energetic performances that involved interaction with the audience, having been regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time.
As a songwriter, Mercury created most of Queen's greatest hits such as "We Are the Champions", "Love of my Life", "Killer Queen", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Somebody to Love" and "Don't Stop Me Now". In addition to his work in the band, Mercury has also released several side projects, including a solo album, Mr. Bad Guy, in 1985, and a record of opera with Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé, Barcelona, in 1988. Mercury died of bronchopneumonia , brought on by AIDS, in 1991, a day after having publicly acknowledged the disease.
His work with Queen still generates recognition to this day: Mercury is cited as the main influence of many other singers and bands. In 2006, he was named the greatest African celebrity of all time and was also named the greatest band leader in history in a public poll organized by American MTV. In 2008, he ranked eighteenth on Rolling Stone Magazine's "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" list, and the following year Classic Rock named him the greatest vocalist in rock and roll. With Queen, Mercury has sold over 150 million records worldwide.
