Mazzy's Election Special playlist.

Uh oh. I see trouble ahead and moderator intervention.

Yeah @roxy54, though it shouldn’t be the case it very well could be. It’s just Mazzy’s recommendation of politically-themed albums, no reason to get po’d. My goodness, why on Earth are people in this country (for those of us in the USA) so quick to get argumentative, feeling they have to "take sides"?

In the old days the rule for family gatherings was "No politics, no religion." But if a group of artists made albums in which political issues are the subject, why can’t they be mentioned without the fact that politics is involved therefore making them forbidden from even being cited as examples of same? Is even mentioning Neil Young's song "Ohio" forbidden? Would a list of albums in which religion is the subject also be forbidden? Any other subjects that are off limits?

How can Dylan's album The Times They Are A-Changin' be discussed if the political content can't be mentioned? It can't. How silly, how juvenile. No wonder much of the world views us as they do.

I believe Audiogon’s policy is no political mention of any kind.  I have had quite a few posts banned in the past because of that.   

@bdp24 -- Sorry, but it’s far from just a non-political RECOMMENDATION list...read every reply in the "Comments Section". There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, but Maslov comes across as extremely Far Left and lets his hatred of Donald Trump and the GOP be known. Again, that is Maslov’s God-given and Constitutionally protected right in the United States of America, and I have no problem with him voicing his opinion.

But, Audiogon has made it clear with their actions in the past that politically themed posts are not allowed. So if posts supporting Trump are going to be deleted, then posts supporting Harris should also be deleted -- what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Or are we playing by "Washington Guidelines"...Rules For Thee, But Not For Me.

You reap what you sow.   I guess we will find out what we have sown of late very soon.  

If you go to a political rally you'll notice that music is heavily featured.  Music is part of life and politics are part of life.  They go together hand in glove.  Is it really that hard to deal with someone who disagrees with your politics, or with your musical preferences?

Can't we just all get along!

I likely don’t agree with you on many things, but I respect your willingness to voice truth. Specifically, the fact that you may agree with the subject matter of the video but are also able to note the bias involved is rare and refreshing. 

On an unrelated note, my opinion is music is not truth, it’s not life, it’s music. It’s emotional, passionate, is able to evoke tears and help us rationalize our prejudices, but that doesn’t make it true. 
 

Best-

Music, like most everything else, is true only when agrees with my convictions.

Agree with Allenf1963. Why the insults bdp24, read your post then go look up the word irony...
