generally speaking, most rich artists, rich actors, rich athletes tend to be hypocrites.
Sadly, I believe this may be true. Most of them just want to be rich and live like rich people, Roger's remark about coveting his Bentley. Johnny Rotten, his anti establishment rants now look empty. (Empty in a Bentley, haha good lyric)
Ive always admired Neil Young in a way, I didnt like his anti Trump stuff with Crosby etc. though, it was way too political. But Southern Man, Alabama and Four Dead in Ohio were about subjects even I could approve off. Especially the anti Slavery message of those 2 songs.
The Lynyrd Skynyrd song “Sweet Home Alabama” was a defense of the South’s brutal history of slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation. It was a response to Neil Young’s songs “Southern Man” and “Alabama,” which were critical of the South’s history of slavery and oppressing Black people.
In addition to defending the past actions of the South, “Sweet Home Alabama” also invoked support of infamous segregationist Governor George Wallace. I don’t know how you can conclude that, at a minimum, this song isn’t completely racist. I believe they had a Confederate flag at their shows.
