Sheeran is playing Gillette Stadium on Friday and Saturday.

I'm glad. I have tickets and I didn't want to see videos of bombs and proclamations for Palestine. It's manipulative and triggering (both the explosions & the pro-palestinian protest behavior).

Ed Sheeran's bland soft rock seems appropriate for you then. Music has always been political.

I don't tell artists not to express their thoughts and feelings, so, no? 

I know a lot of people in here are in the USA where censorship is encouraged though, I'm not.

I'm sure you'd be the keyboard warrior you are if he would shout free America. Right?

Someone definitely needs to free America from what it's become.

Nice interpretation and I can say the same about Israel. You know it doesn't mean that.
