I support the current thing. I support the current thing. I support the current thing. I support the current thing.


Quote:
The video introduced John Legend’s performance about two hours into the show.

“The war. What is more opposite of music? The silence of ruined cities and killed people,” Zelenskyy said. “Our children draw swooping rockets, not shooting stars. Over 400 children have been injured and 153 children died, and we will never see them drawing. Our parents are happy to wake up in the morning in bomb shelters, but alive. Our loved ones don’t know if we will be together again. The war doesn’t let us choose who survives and who stays in eternal silence.”






Zelenskyy continued, “Our musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded in hospitals. Even to those who can’t hear them. But the music will break through anyway. We defend our freedom. To live. To love. To sound. On our land, we are fighting Russia which brings horrible silence with its bombs. Fill the silence with your music. Fill it today. Tell our story. Tell the truth about the war on your social networks and TV. But not silence.”

Wow. I know if I gave a damn about the Grammys, I'd sure want my musical preaching circumvented by political nationalist war time preaching from a lesser evil than Vladimir Putin.


The Revolution will not only be televised, pop culture must be politicized.


Get on board or else.

Money runs the world, he needs to tap into the western oligarchs to get support.

So you didn't watch the Grammys, yet here you are bitching because Americans entertainment was briefly interrupted by the real world. OK, whatever.

You’ve just to hand it to this guy. Christ. He dished out fully automatic weapons to his people from the beginning.

The US media sanitized the horrific fully automatic weapons as, wait for it. Rifles.

I initially thought when he distributed small arms to his people. It was an act of desperation.

Boy, how’s THAT turned out?!!

At least there's no Nazis in their military.


And it's not like he banned all political parties that detract from his own platform.


It's a democracy. Like totes for reals.

He wants support I get that and he will take any free publicity and speaking opportunities.

But always focus on the message along with the messenger.

Look, he's an actor. He has a script and plays his role in it. That's it. So does Biden, Putin and the rest of them. None of them is a figure of any real significance, they are just fronts and talk heads to show to crowds and use as scapegoats or anger targets. Look for the real masters instead.

But what makes Zelensky better is that he was an actor for 22 years !
