Pop goes a cliche

In The Times Philip Collins (is that his real name?) contends that Pop Music can't do Politics.
What rubbish this is.
He cites a 'lack of intelligent lyrical comment' but merely exposes himself to ridicule over his lack of musical knowledge.
Hey Phil, try Frank Turner, Show of Hands, Green Day, Blabbermouth, Michael Franti, Steve Knightley or Martyn Joseph.
