I like M.I.A....I really do. But I think she's just a little bit full of Shite. She's tangled up her music and her image with some questionable political sentiment, images and symbols. I don't think she needs to explain it because it seems pretty obvious to me; it's along the lines of the Manics(clueless) going to Cuba and meeting with Fidel AND liking it (hilarious!!). Or say Rage Against the Machine(hypocrites) speaking out against US abuses and meanwhile collecting BIG FAT CHECKS from their merchandising of Che Guevara to buy themselves nice houses. Granted, there are 2 sides to every coin and I do think it's somewhat subjective and a matter of perspective. But at the same time, it's like 50 Cent saying he doesn't glorify guns and misogynistic behaviour. Sorry to break the news love, but he does. I'll close with this: I saw M.I.A. live and what I remember the most is the CONSTANT sound of machine gun fire samples she kept triggering throughout her set. I go to shows to hear music, not to take a trip to the Gaza Strip.
