There's a history of protest art and music, so that's not the problem. What bugs me is as you point out, this whole "70's vibe" going on. It's like their only point of reference is something that happened to them as kids or their older brothers and sisters got laid and did good drugs in the "Vietnam era" and they want to buy some street cred by covering those songs.
Rock is dead, long live PC pop.

Either ignore their anti-war, anti-American drivel and keep with the hobby, realizing they may have talent in one area and be clueless in another, or find animation performers who are more in line with conservatism (if there are any)...or if it bothers you to be giving them money with which they make these asinine comparisons...get a new hobby and vote with your feet and your wallet.
In short, perhaps consider taking up shooting as a hobby. It is really wuite enjoyable and one day it could save your life.

???!
The only connnection I'd ever found between anime and the Vietnam war was Blood: the Last Vampire (which I didn't think was very good--I mean the animation was great, but the 'plot' was so thin as to be pathetic).

I wouldn't have a problem with this EXCEPT, I cannot imagine that their cartoons are not drenched with the effects of their political affiliation.
In this case, it may not seem like leftist causes being promoted in the cartoons so much as a love of death---elevated to a level of "art". That love of death is part of the Left.

Just FYI, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is not about Vietnam. It's about the Northern Ireland situation and the title refers to a specific incident which took place in 1972:
Bloody Sunday history from the BBC.

The whole idea of a "rock" show in a stadium is anti-rock. Your point is making MY point--that ain't rock, it's more like a Vegas act.
Country music and a few solo artists are the only musicians worth a darn in today's music...
I thought you just said rock wasn't dead.
Classic Rock is yesterday's rock today's rock and tomorrow's rock...:)
An art form that isn't creating new, vibrant work is dead.

Long live PC pop? I didn't know you were a Michael Jackson fan. If you couldn't tell that was sarcasm after the previous paragraph in the post, I have to wonder if you're a Celine (yurk!) Dion fan. ;)
OK, that was below the belt, sorry...
To: Darkwolf377
I'd rather lay claim to Celine Dion than Micheal Jackson.

Look at Carlos Santana he is able to assist other artists that come and go with a hit record, he is a Classic Rocker that has talent to keep coming back with new tunes every 1o years, many like him that started off in some smokey bar.

Wow, lighten up, man. You're the one with Michael Jackson on the brain, while at least I was thinking about a woman ;).
To: Archerfish; Jeff Head
Of course he could always 'take up' the anime hobby himself (or herself as the case may be) and write something more in tune with his or her own politics.
Oh, and good advice about taking up shooting. That's nearly always to be recommended. **grin**

Santana had one massive hit record that was mostly due to riding on the talents of those with one hit record. Check out his sales from the mid-seventies till then.
His stuff is more pop-rock than rock, anyway. I don't know too many people who rock down to Santana, though I know lots of people who have him in their "world music" rotation.
