    Sheeran could have avoided this by telling Kraft where to shove it. There’s not many artists who can sell out a stadium.

    Though it baffles me why. His music does nothing for me.

      Right??? The eagerness with which so many people seem to want to appease and idolize billionaires is frankly revolting.

      But that’s just American society for you these days, I guess :(

      Hell he could have been just not a cunt and said “no I’m keeping him in my show” made no support and still made more money. That’s a fucking crazy response to a genocide to me still, but my point stands he choose to be a cunt for cunts and people shouldn’t want to work with him or pay him for that.

      He should have supported Macklemore and forced Kraft’s hand…and then sued the living fuck out of him for breaking the contract. Instead, he pussied out and wrecked his career.

        I doubt Kraft would have done what he did without contacting his legal department. I’m sure the contract has a bullshit “morality” clause that covers his ass.

      pop music is designed in a lab for the lowest common denominator. everybody listening to it would like something else more but those other things are too different for the wide swath of “good enough” that the machine targets
