I have been browsing Youtube looking at different things on the election, and I've noticed that Rock the Vote is doing a bit of a Youtube blitz. I was sort of wondering what other people thought about celebrities and their role in promoting, contributing to, and talking about the election.
I know that many people take a stance that says celebrities only think one way (liberal) and that they try and push that ideology on other people, but I think the opposite way. I mean, look at this video:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOk9B1hYr4g]YouTube - Flobots Rock the Vote PSA[/ame]
Flobots are a pretty liberal band, but you wouldn't get that from that PSA. They're basically just telling people to go out and vote.
Other celebrities don't have a secret agenda at all. They don't overtly support one side or the other, and they're just genuinely telling people to go out and vote like here:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gvpLaMdc3M]YouTube - Buckethead & Bootsy Collins (Rock The Vote)[/ame]
Like, do you think that Bootsy Collins is trying to corrupt young minds with his syrupy sweet funk rhythms or something?
I just think that a lot of the celebrity bashing that I hear going on is unwarranted.
