Just because I run an indie label doesn't mean I don't think Jay-Z is nice.
I admit clearly and frankly that early Mexican art formed my views of carving as much as anything I could do.
You can't stop an artist from expressing his views through art.
I believe there is little to gain by exchanging opinions with other artists concerning either the ideology of art or technical methods.
Most famous artists are created by their work and the idea of them as a character, and if they're smart and ambitious, they reinforce that character because they want to win. They want their views to prevail.
A bunch of comedians have gotten in 'trouble' for sharing their views. When an actor or an artist or might come out saying something political or whatever, then it becomes about that view.
I don't know everybody's political opinions, but I think the majority of people in the arts are pretty leftist, and we're disappointed in the Trump administration.
