Ed Sheeran is in a bind. Or was. Maybe still is.
He booted Macklemore from the opening spot on his tour, specifically at Robert Kraft’s demand. Well, specifically, they asked Macklemore to keep Mackling, but way less. Maybe ditch the annoying “free Palestine” diatribe in your act before you play in my stadium, Kraft allegedly said to one or both.
Look, I get it, even I’m a bit more of an Israel skeptic lately. But good lord is this act annoying as hell. I’d want a refund.
Regardless of where you fall on the I-Question – that is, Israel – can we all agree that going to a concert shouldn’t require sitting through a lecture about freeing Palestine … and Lebanon, Cuba, Sudan, Congo and then oddly “all the people of America”?
I’m not spending other people’s money to attend a class at Columbia. I’m spending my money to hear music.
