The Palestine thread

[Milltown Row2]

f**k Sheeran, he's taken the easy way out. Hope Macklemore takes the lot of them to court and wins

Wins what though? if you have signed an agreement that says your are not to shout a slogan during your time on stage then you aint winning shit.. Again I've no clue how these contracts are done but with todays climate and various other singers that have had issues, there will probably be something to cover that..

He'll have soured his popularity for sure, coming near the end for him musically too I feel, hasn't really brought out as good as songs he's done in the past

Yes contracts could be tricky , but big Ed could redeem  himself and go full on Free Palestine at his last gig. Tell Kraft to go F**k themselves and  label them genocide supporters. Then stick two fingers  up  to them and walk off stage. What could they do  to him after that?

Would at least go some way to  giving him back some credibility

By the way , has Sheeran  done any good songs?  I've yet to hear one. I noticed he hasn't been suggested for the Top 3 thread , and   that's a marker of  success around here

He's done some quality songs ffs! He's not in the Premier league but the lad performs his own music unlike your latest performer Tina

You've no idea what he has or hasn't signed so not sure what you're arguing there.

See Kanye West actually played at one of the venues, so the whole antisemitism accusation is out the window with the stuff he's came out with which has actually been antisemitic.

Also, several of the venues are publicly own, with the freedom of speech laws in the US Macklemore would definitely have a case there I'd say.

Before the genocide zionism was hidden so nobody knew how it worked with power and cancelling and Washington.  It only works if it is hidden. When it's in the open people notice it. Like the Kraft thing.

If you say so. I remain unconvinced

But I guess he's  designed to appeal to  11 and 12 year olds , not   me in me 40's

But you're taking him to court and not knowing anything else either.. I said in my post we are not privy to whatever the contracts state if anything..

So I'd hope from that you'd know that this is pure speculation?

See an old video of Sheeran saying I stand with Ukraine doing the rounds now. Oops I thought he "stayed out of politics..."

[Milltown Row2]

Yeah bit of a own goal, I've no problems with an singer being non political and refusing to provide views on something outside of his job, people can go feck themselves when asking personal views on things to be honest. But... He did a concert or made a political interview on the war in Ukraine..

So either you say nothing or stand up for your beliefs..

May backfire on him, completely out of his control I'd assume as these things are contract ridden and no scope for complete refusal in doing the concerts as its not just his money but everyone on tour and involved in a tour set up that loses out.

Would be a huge breach of contract to I'd say

Sheeran is only 35. This is senior hurling. As someone said upthread he is not culturally Irish. Maybe when he is older he will get it. Portishead and Primal Scream are much older than him and have more experience.

"If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers."

Thomas Pynchon

At least he is not doing it like Boy George and Graham Linehan.

[Milltown Row2]

Are Portishead still a band? Beth Gibbons was some singer at the time

Children's educator Ms. Rachel has publicly criticized pop singer Ed Sheeran in two Instagram posts after the singer fired rapper Macklemore from the U.S. tour for supporting Palestine. That happened after the rapper performed the protest song " Free Palestine " at MetLife Stadium.

In her first post, Ms. Rachel claims the singer had a chance to set a good example but didn't.

"Ed Sheeran had an opportunity show that we won't be bullied into punishing people for supporting Palestine," Ms. Rachel wrote.

Has he signed that? You are the first person I have seen claim Macklemore did such a thing
