""I am saying that if people feel strongly about something they should be able to speak their mind, Franck may not have put it across in the best way, but by his action we are now talking and thinking about the Biafran war 50 years later.""

With respect Dick, we are not talking about Biafra. We are discussing your incomprehensible stance on the subject of a performer so far forgetting his manners as to accuse, castigate and belittle his audience, for their (according to him) inaction on a situation which was nothing to do with his presence at a gig for which he was being paid.

As I said earlier, highlighting the situation in a song would have been fine, and probably appreciated.

I know a performer who has written a song about Darfur, which has achieved the desired end by mking people think about the situation.

His audiences went home talking about the situation in Darfur, rather than about the way they had been attacked.
