Indeed from the sounds of it you would agree, it's simply not *enough* to just write/create etc because you believe in something stong enough that you want to make progress. I bet Sartre and Foucault realized that much as well. You really do need to get your hands dirty if you ever really want to make a significant contribution. If you spend all your time wanking on some keyboard about a problem it really won't do a damned thing. But if the goal is awareness, art's a legitimate enough forum to handle something that simple. I guess that's my point.

Right but I don't think Ken stated it was music "about Tibet" as much as it was a release to raise awareness about Tibet. Maybe I'm wrong in assuming there is a difference. I just refuse to dismiss the idea without being more informed.

No heat! Heck I'm not even red in the cheeks, this is what we're supposed to do right! Thanks for your reply! Teep
