Whoah how fucking big are wolves!
I’ve read that in the US lots of people nowdays have them as pets and that a lot of those end up getting put down because people just want a cool big dog and end up with a wild animal.

There not objectively bad but I do think Thom Yorke’s plaintive melancholy dirges benefit a lot from the way Radioheads rhythm section and Greenwood’s instrumentation transform them into something new. They’ve also kind of hit a late/mature stage groove since in Rainbows where I don’t think they really push themselves the way they used to, and their music is becoming less interesting and more predictable.
That they are ‘objectively bad’ is a classic hot take, although usually in response to their crossover appeal/ the amount of ‘normie’ listeners they have, rather than there being Zionists.
Nick Cave is another one whose come out recently refusing to boycott Israel (I think he likened the pressure to bullying or something ridiculous).
Peoples politics are really made by experience. Like a lot of actors for example have reasonably left wing politics because, at some point early in their career they often did experience struggle and exploitation. But a rockstars life is about as pampered as you can get, and the ones that are successful usually find success while their young, so it’s not surprising so many of them have shit politics.

Cancelling politically suspect mediocrities is fine because fuck ‘em right, but cancelling great artists over politics is myopic and undesirable, when there art is not directly political. In relation to that I would say, for example, that it was fine and good not to publish the anti-Semitic propaganda Celine wrote during WW2, as some publisher wanted to do a few years back; but it would be silly not to read his literary work because he was a Nazi, just as it would be silly to ignore Wagner or Heidegger for the same reason. On the other hand I don’t have a problem with anyone trying to cancel Radiohead, humanity doesn’t really miss anything if we lose them, although I’ll probably still listen to their music.
