Don’t Care
By Mitch Berg
Joe Doakes, once of Como Park, emails:
A person who used to be a female actress transitioned to being a male actor and is having trouble finding roles, blames straight people for not being more supportive.
A comedy action film star hated the 1980s.
A guy who directs comic book movies is against a studio merger because of Israel.
I don’t care. I don’t care what you think or why you think it. I’m perfectly capable of forming my own opinions. If I want your opinion I’ll ask; but until then, shut up and act or direct or sing or shoot baskets or perform whatever form of entertainment you’re trying to sell me.

On the one hand, it’s like Laura Ingram’s classic meme “shut up and sing”.
On the other – how well did that work, culturally speaking, over the long term?
