Instigate Debate....An actual viewpoint

If there was any a moral obligation it would be aimed at the 6th May for our young voters in the general election, a chance to vote for our democracy and a chance to really stamp our cradled feet into the horizon, or if your like me (a cynic) its another chance to be ignored but in the process having the slightest glimmer that maybe your voice will be heard and you won’t be shouting into closed industry or in a class size as big as the queue to sock Cameron in his smarmy mouth.

Instigate Debate is a brilliant way of attaining a media obsessed nation into NOT voting for some second rate pub singer from Doncaster who’s mum has cancer and so is doing it for HER, it’s an obsession primarily formed on opinions that are TRUE but are so far from media agenda’s nobody is either a. Familiar with such concepts or b. Doesn’t give two shits, which is fair enough we are all entitled to like what we like, hear what we hear, see what we see.

A scheme set up as a cultural and political look into people’s views on various issues, the concept was started by political activist Mark Donne in 2008, and unlike charity’s prone temptation for stars to pontificate themselves on how much their doing and delivering speeches the strike a chord with modern day unfortunate charitable mendacity not amongst the organisations themselves but by the top earner musicians who constantly berate the ‘normal’ people into doing more (don’t believe me then get on True Stories: Starsuckers).

Musicians who have taken part in these questions which encourage people to film such interviews on phones, digital camera’s, or if you have the dollar even actual proper equipment, a range of topics are covered from the Murdoch empire to the question of personal wealth, the interviews encompass a transient feel but I feel it gives good grounding on people we viably respect as musicians/artists and gives an alternative view to the negative connotation we give people in the public eye.

If your looking for personal views of people and the world that we sometimes put off from thinking about then have a look on the media conglomerate that is Youtube, below is an interview conducted on the beat with former NME Journalist Conor McNicholas, very interesting, also below is the interview conducted with Reverend and the Makers front man Jon McClure, look them all up! You never know an impromptu house gig to celebrate your documentation with the 'stars' could be your reward (moving with the times, people have to offer things now.....)
