A fine old communist song, turned into PR for the Kastner family and it’s golden boy, Peter. Kind of trivializes the sacrifices and struggles of working people around the world, this privileged Forest Hill boy singing about himself and his family.
As someone with the same last name, I’m embarrassed.
This seems like an anti- art comment to me. Music inspires and unites oppressed people and their allies. I think artists from any class can play an important role in revolutionary movements. A multi millionaire wrote Give Peace a Chance. A middle class Jewish boy wrote Blown in the Wind. Are these not useful contributions to the struggle?
