Hi Everyone.
I know this may sound like an unusual task like I am somehow caving in to the mainstream music industry but if our government is willing to ban genuine creative songs by grassroots artists from achieving number 1 chart status (as well as broadcasting bans like what happened to Captain SKA's 2017 single Liar Liar GE2017 in the run up to the then snap elections: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/theresa-may-liar-liar-song-tenth-place-captain-ska-big-top-40-download-chart-a7761091.html), then there has to be another way around this.
Back in 2009, a campaign was launched by English DJ Jon Morter and his wife Tracy on Facebook to encouraging people to buy the song 'Killing in the Name' by Rage Against The Machine to prevent the newly released single by the then X Factor winner Joe McElderry reaching the Christmas number 1 slot. Despite TV Judge and Music Executive Simon Cowell publicly criticizing the campaign as "stupid" and "cynical", this did not stop other musicians including Muse, Dave Grohl, The Prodigy, Kasabian, Sir Paul McCartney, then-contestants John & Edward and even Rage Against The Machine themselves, from getting on board to praise the campaign and help it to achieve the eventual target. The group ended up attracting over 750,000 members and RATM guitarist Tom Morello said that achieving the aims of the campaign would be a "wonderful dose of anarchy" as well as giving the windfall from the campaign to charity. Despite critics saying that both Mr Cowell and RATM were signed up to Sony BMG, the choice of picking a song digitally for the first time gave it the attention and message it deserved.
With that said, however, as I highlighted earlier, creativity and art is facing increasingly more censorship as governments start to crack down bit by bit on our freedoms and let's face it, if it does get attention, the state regulator OFCOM might ban the song from being broadcast, even if it contains no derogatory, sexual, racist, hateful, divisive or violent language because that's what governments linked to the Military Industrial Complex as well as being with various other lobby groups and have no interest in their own people like doing best. But there is hope for one chance to get a silent yet loud message across that we will no longer tolerate the propaganda being broadcast to the masses putting excuse after excuse after excuse about why our troops have to be stationed abroad ready for a possible unwinnable global conflict, if not killing innocent civilians in countries where our troops are deployed such as Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc and sell our weapons to regimes who also take part in immoral killings all under the name of 'good business' (see Yemen).
If no attention is given to this song soon, it'll be game over for the awakening of citizens not just in the UK but around the world and we will have to witness 1984 being thrown unconditionally upon us.
Peace, Everyone!
