Makes me wonder if the English Kings of ages past, who employed Jesters to entertain their dinner guests allowed the clowns to influence the serfs politically?
Hollywood, by all means entertain me, but where did you get the idea that your opinions matter one tiny iota to me? Hmmm?
In a bygone epoch, traveling minstrels (forerunners of today's touring rock/rap/pop morons), traveling drama troupes and theatre folk were widely disdained as a subculture not to be emulated, admired, nor held up as models of proper social behaviour,values, or political ideas.
That is one area where our modern western society ought to consider "regressing" somewhat.
