Last week top popular artist Rihanna delivered, a parody on a vector of the feminine mystique and modern materialism; a pleasant and, yes, timely distraction/counterpoint from the Rcon threat. They have their rouge and we have ours.
Ok this is a bit off beat but ... All over the world, in some lounges a few tongues are wagging. Howard Stern should be proud. Why? I actually forgot.
Beyond the colorful eye candy, skill and artistry of her new video There's an underlying political message. To? the conservative patriarchs 'forcing budgets and reducing' women's rights to a variety of trite vectors of service.
In a world reduced to the biggest bang for the buck? Really, when it comes to rouges who will most go with Rihanna or the R-con pinup person? The latter type is well know, a respectable woman with controversial views who likes the lime lights of show business and media.
But the former, our young Ms. Fenty, also is woman of some note. A multimillionaire entrepreneur established in show business, she is social joy to millions fans all over the world. And in her own way shows flashes of old school British intelligence and irony.
Professionally connected to one Mr. Shawn 'JayZ' Carter, 'an aware' business genius, who along with 'The Boss' Bruce Springsteen, drove the GOTV in the closing days of 'the glorious Obama campaign of '2012? These folk are potent political assets. Progressives need to take note of Rihanna, Miley, Madonna, Beyonce, Eva Longoria and the whole brigade of major male and female artist.
They share the vision of human progress; a far better world. And stay in touch with regular people, in the millions, more so than most elected officials.
Let us back our artist, insure they are politically covered and understood; even as they dare bare a bit a flesh to make point.
Here is another example; Ms. Alicia Keyes showing mainstream artistic poise awareness and drive..

Ok this may be the point. A smart savvy 'field trip' from blue to red is required in key districts; Occupy Main Street. To? Reclaim the political landscape. It is time to touch down in 'fly over country.'
If it sounds hard and scary think Marfa , as a model. There may be gold in them hills.
The people who live there may just want some attention, maybe thats why they vote for Rcons. This is where Hollywood comes in, Bill Maher had this riff on
with JayZ about rich liberal buying states.
Moving in creative folk with with contact centers green industry and global opportunity, is the sound fun humanitarian and maybe profitable way to show to lonely locals the benefits of cool people being in our rural and suburban districts and create a new balance. There is an average %35 floor in red districts. The folk who live there and write here must know where to go to make the most difference and impact.
