Entertainers using their microphone has been going for a long time--Joplin Pete Seeger, The Beatles, and what's his face (evreeey bodeee muuust geet stoooned)--Bob Dylan? But what seemed to morph this was when Billy Clinton dragged his sax and sunglasses out...not cool. I dunno, it seems that in the 70s (I guess) protests were about generational change, and now entertainers are being bitchy and nasty about their agenda. Which reminds me, isn't one of the Baldwin brothers supposed to have moved to Australia?
