Buzzgrinder's editor has posted a response to the recent, controversial post from Thursday's Geoff Rickley which decried the current state of activism in music. Along with criticizing the medium Geoff used (MTV), the blog post goes on to explain that the fault does not rest just with the bands, but with the public:

It wasn't just 'political punk' that got more accessible. Everything got more accessible. With that the masses are neutered, overwhelmed and ready for bed 10pm. Don't blame the bands, blame everyone. Music ain't dangerous because dangerous takes time.

Go to local board meetings or pull a lever every four years? Support a band or download an MP3? Help the homeless or watch Lost? Volunteer in your community or make out? Expecting music to change a generation is like expecting dogs to talk.
