Misfit Tunes The Magazine September 2014 | Page 8

ask yourself are not those very same titans, the music elite, merely men and women just like you and I? Once that question is asked the titans then become mere human beings that like the rest of the world are shocked and in disbelief that an unarmed teenager was gunned down in the streets while visiting his Grandmother days before starting college by a police officer sworn to serve and protect that very same teenager. We should not assume nor expect anything more from the music elite than we do ourselves. Just because we support them and their music we need 8 to also understand they feel they same pains and share the same fears we all have. More importantly with the reports of police officers threatening the lives of reporters and peaceful protesters the titans celebrity may not protect them. A bullet does not care how much money you make. The greatest strength of the titans, their celebrity, would have no impact on the media. As the media coverage early on in the unrest was little to none. It was a complete media blackout. Once the media coverage began it was criticized as being questionable to say the least. So in times of in justice and unrest instead of crying out to and demanding the titans come to the rescue understand the titan are merely humans just like you that share the same heartache and disgust. Understand they will need and want the same time to process and heal from the hurt. The fact of the matter is until all people recognize an injustice against one is an injustice against all this wont be the last time the MUSIC GOES SILENT.
