309. Music and Politics: To Divide or Unify?

Sharing about my musical preferences and specifically why I like Godspeed You! Black Emperor , where do I currently stand in relation to their philosophy and political views and what I have changed from the time I started to listen to them. Also a commentary on Radiohead’s concert in Tel Aviv and the potential that musicians/artists have to push the envelope in our society, to wake us all up and be catalysts for the development of our human nature, not to continue dividing and polarizing/causing conflicts, but for reconciliation and an understanding of our differences and uniting in our strengths.
