The Music World Reacts To Charlottesville
Music and social values go together like Oreos and milk, so of course a lot of musicians spoke out about the vile “protests” by white supremacist groups (aka Nazis) happening in Charlottesville, Virginia recently. We collected some of them for your reading pleasure!
the news makes me sick and so do racists in suits who dance around the fact that NAZIS are parading thru the streets in broad daylight

In the words of Bill and Ted, just “Be excellent to each other” it’s 2017… there is no room for hate! My heart goes out to Virginia tonight.

You can't pick an opinion in racism/homophobia/misogyny. You just can't. You're either part of the change or part of the problem.

What are these sad humans so clearly unhappy with in themselves to go to these measures? What are they so afraid of? Insecure of?

We have nazi sympathizers and white nationalists in the White House. Condemn them too. They should not be receiving taxpayer money.

It is reprehensible what is happening in Charlottesville, Virginia. We stand with all those who wish to eradicate HATE.
