Kris Kristofferson - In The News
Kristoffer “Kris” Kristofferson is a legendary American country music singer, songwriter and actor. He is best known for hits such as “Me and Bobby McGee”, “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down”, and “Help Me Make It Through the Night”. He is also a political activist. Kris released a music video about how he feels about George Bush, and the way Bush is handling the world today. The video “In The News” has reached #18 on Neil Young’s Living With War Today. In my opinion, Kris’s video is a form of art as a political statement. See the video and judge for yourself. Is art political? How does it affect you, and the way you feel about the world today?

I don’t think art is necessarily political, it’s just art. That’s not to say it can’t make people think about politics. Art is open to interpretation, and we all transpose our personal views and beliefs into the art we see and hear. It’s a great song, but using it with the video forces people to think it only means one thing. Anti Bush. Which is fine, but it just makes the art seem a little forced. I’d rather hear the music without the video, and mix my own feelings with it. It’s more personal that way.

Megapixels: You said, “It’s a great song, but using it with the video forces people to think it only means one thing. Anti Bush. I’d rather hear the music without the video, and mix my own feelings with it. It’s more personal that way.”
I see your point of view, BUT it is like I said, “Kris is a political activist. Kris released a music video about how he feels about George Bush, and the way Bush is handling the world today.” It is his words, his music, his lyrics, his thoughts and emotions, and his own video,
This is Kris’s personal expression. He wants you to think his music is anti-Bush because it is. He meant it that way. He is fed up with the world today, and fed up with George Bush.
If you take his video and separate it from his song aren’t you forcing your personal desires on him?
Isn’t art also about personal expression of the artist?

I think that this video is only Kris’s political expression. I like it. It’s art. And of course I appreciate it cause it’s anti-Bush…
Very good!
