Please yerself and you get the audience that will accept it. And it may not be to your liking either.

In the Bobby Darin biopic that was sort of addressed. How much it represented his actual experience is moot but I trust Kevin Spacey.

Basically as portrayed - Bobby tried a civil rights message song in cabaret and it bombed. Then he took it to Las Vegas and he got a mega Gospel Choir to back him coming down a massive flight of steps, all in brilliant costume. Same song, same message. Different reaction.
