To be perfectly honest, I've kinda been skimming a large chunk of this thread and replying to what sticks out the most. It's been a busy week/ weekend.
That being said, I think that you Genteel Death is just arguing for the sake of it. Although nothing is wrong with presenting a challenge.
I have also picked up that I am discussing the term "political" in a different light that most - I consider it to be a political action whenever somebody does anything that challenges the systems around them, even if that action is seemingly small and the person is doing it without any political intent. Most creative action is political; art and music also have the power to make people question, reconsider and see other possibilities.
Case in point - Sonic Youth. When I first heard the Youth's warped guitars/noise feed backs (namely, Starfield Road) I was blown away because I never knew anything like that could insist. They completley changed my perspective on what the bounds of music could be. That was political. It's a different type of political than, say, the Gossip talking about gay rights or Bob Dylan writing protest songs, but it was still political.
