Ooh I really like this one and the Le Lab Virgin Radio one, especially Opposite Ways. So much better than the album versions.

Off the top of my head: Parliament Funkadelic - The Mothership Connection, Live In Houston 1976.

That's my go to. An amazing show and never fails to get me in a good mood or cheer me up. Parliament Funkadelic is magic.

You can talk circles around justifying this idiocy, it's not going to make this clout chasing vandalism stunt any more clever. If justifying some kind of funding is what you want to talk about you're free to do so, funding has never been something that stops art from existing, but that discussion is absolutely irrelevant to this thing. Besides, "the arts are one of the first things to go" isn't talking about this one piece, it's very general and you know it.

Yeah, because art clearly hasn't existed when there's strife, crises or people are poor or suffering :D

There is a massive difference between critique and telling people not to do anything. You enjoy that strawman as well. Jesus.

Making things worse is not a thing to be commended just for the effort, real life isn't kindergarten, you don't get a participation trophy. The road to hell is paved is good intentions and useful idiots do more harm than good.

Because wiping your ass on the entire movement is so much better than actually, really doing something! Have fun feeling high and mighty without doing anything useful.

Have fun beating that strawman...

Only extreme things make it into the media (sadly). Anything short of blowing up the pipeline won’t get them media attention.

I'm really not arguing against the obvious futility of fighting against these giants, but I mean, we're here literally talking about people vandalizing paintings which honestly has absolutely fucking nothing to do with the oil industry and it's hailed as some big statement. It's a sad reality we live in, but things like this aren't making anything better.

There are no parallels you can seriously draw from this shit to the suffragette movement.
