"tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight"

In spite of the kerfuffle when I prosecuted R'n'B, I'm back in the chair again over at the Art of Noise. This time I'm locking horns with Ben over "musicians dabbling in politics". Amongst several predictable cheap shots at Bob Geldof and Bono, you'll learn about a protest song from 1381, the saga of the dedication on Beethoven's Third Symphony, and that Chris Martin drives an X5.

Well, it is a school day.

It would be great if you could have a look at both cases and then cast your votes. It doesn't really matter if you vote for the other side, it's the exercising of your mandate that's the important thing.....
