Be careful not to equate a person's personal taste in music to a doctrine
for any organization. Transhsumanist Arts & Culture is not backing this
musician, my friends, *I* simply like this rap song. Further, no one is
suggesting that his music be held as a symbol for Extropic art. Your
comments are not going to change my mind about what I value as an important
piece of music and exquisite composition.
I feel the same way about Madonna. While many people find her obnoxious
and even a terrible role mdel, I apprecate most of her music and her art. I
think that her radical, head strong, and edgy stance on sexuality is an
important statement that "she had to give." This is her choice.
Regardless of what I think about her character in any number of situations,
I value her work as an artist.
On the Transhumanist Arts & Culture website: http://www.extroipc-art.com,
you will see a FAQ which addresses the issue of separating the artist from
the art. It's not an issue to take lightly. Many facters have to be
considered.
Humans have many faces, and various angles to each face.
I don't agree with Brian's expression because he emotions rund too strong
against this music without objectively discussing the music.
