I’m no religious person but I just had an epiphany. Youtube’s algorithm helped a bit. It came up with this video:
I don’t think sending weapons to Ukrain will end this war. (I know: If I were there I might think different) I think sending a message to the Russian people will have more effect. A global message. From the people they know and admire. Artists. The arts will save us.
We need a new Bob Geldof. Someone who can act quickly and organize a global event that even Russian censors and firewalls can not stop. An event that will reach the people of Russia and make it absolutely clear what is happening.
Russian people love music just like everybody else, We here can hear what is on the playlists of participants. American, English and European artists are very popular in Russia. If they would speak to their fans, telling them what is the truth and what is propaganda, it might help to raise awareness about the war. Every revolution starts with awareness. If the people don’t know what is going on, nothing will change.
Who is going to organise this event? Bono? Mick Jagger? Madonna? Lady Gaga? Brad Pitt? What celebrity is well known in Russia and is willing to step up? Please come up with suggestions and we will start a revolution.
You may say I’m a dreamer, but I am not the only one.
