This week we're talking the recent election "controversies" surrounding Chappell Roan & Taylor Swift, whether celebrities & artists are obligated to share political opinions, if you can separate art from the artist, & we spend some time honoring Gavin Creel, a theatre legend who passed away far too young.Timestamps: 00:00- 00:45 Intro00:45-07:45 Election Season & How it affects our business07:45-08:56 Taylor & Chappell endorsement Controversies pt 108:56-11:42 JK Rowling & Separating Art from Artist11:42-13:24 Do you feel comfortable endorsing a candidate?13:24-16:19 Do celebrity endorsements matter?16:19-17:29 Do moral obligations play a role?17:30-19:18 There is so much money in the right wing grift19:18-20:33 Moral obligations pt 220:33-21:55 Is it a celebrity's responsibility to make endorsements?21:55-29:59 The Taylor & Chappell endorsement Controversies pt 229:59- 30:41 How gender plays a role30:41-32:31 All Things Go and Show cancellation32:31-33:33 Ticketmaster is a criminal enterprise33:33-36:37 Fans expect perfection from famous people36:37-39:55 The Taylor Swift Effect, explained39:55-41:41 Taylor & Chappell endorsement controversies pt 341:41-43:07 the stakes in the election and why people sit out43:07-44:17 Taylor & Chappell endorsement controversies pt 444:17-47:02 where we get stuck 47:02-48:42 Is it a celebrity's responsibility to make endorsements pt 248:42-50:48 Chappell White House Visit & Greater impact50:48-52:32 Is Art inherently political?52:32-57:11 The resurgence of pop-punk & American Idiot57:11-1:15:35 Gavin Creel TributeFor visual listeners, you can watch our podcast here: Youtube.com/@GlassSlipping Instagram.com/GlassSlippingPod https://www.tiktok.com/@glassslippinghttps://x.com/glassSlipping
