  • Bob Vylan

    Really enjoyed listening to band member asking many of the same questions I ask such as a definition for antisemitism. As someone with Jewish ancestry I wonder about this a great deal, why is it antisemitic to criticise genocide? Speak out against invasion? Great to see musicians continuing the tradition of questioning traditions. Hoping Bob Vylan tour Australia. Cheers

    Serious question though: Why does Louis always sound like he's falling asleep towards the end of these things?
