Thread Name: Björk said free Tibet and the china ....
Subject: RE: Björk said free Tibet and the china ....
I always feel a little sad when people make these kind of "stands" in public. If Bjork supports the cause of the people of Tibet why did she go to China and accept liberal payment for her singing? Bjork is in the business of making money for herself through her performances and that is the only reason she went to China, to make a fast buck. If she is happy to do that, and to accept their money, then she is morally challenged to begin with.
In another thread on Mudcat we were encouraged to veto the Olympics because of the lack of human rights. doesnt this apply to all aspects of relationships with the country?? including music performances.
Mind you I have yet to be persuaded that what Bjork does is anywhere close to what I would call music !!!!!
