In today's post, I will follow up on an article from the previous week. Do you remember the Placebo ritual?
If not, it doesn't matter. Here is an excerpt from Brian's interview in 2014 before a performance at the Biarritz festival, I shared with you last Wednesday.

Last week, the whole article was dedicated to the band ๐‘น๐’‚๐’…๐’Š๐’๐’‰๐’†๐’‚๐’…, today I will introduce you to two other named artists.

๐‹๐‚๐ƒ ๐’๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ฆ is an American rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2002 by ๐‰๐š๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ ๐Œ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฉ๐ก๐ฒ.
The band whose musical style best describes the word "๐‘‘๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘๐‘’๐‘๐‘ข๐‘›๐‘˜" has 8 members, released 4 studio albums and won many musical awards in their career.
We've already written about this band, but it probably didn't remaine in your memory.
๐‹๐‚๐ƒ ๐’๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ฆ was one of the bands actively involved in the protest against Margaret Court in Australia.

LCD Soundsystem is a close band for Placebo. A few words about this band from Stefan:

A very famous American rapper, born in 1969. Known as the husband of the singer Beyoncรฉ, with whom he has 3 children. He has influenced many artists and has also collaborated with many well-known musicians: Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Linkin Park, Alicia Keys, R. Kelly, Rihanna and many others. He has one more thing common with Brian and Thom Yorke - they have openly protested against Spotify's streaming of music.

Here Brian mentions Jay-Z briefly in this article from 2017:

At the end of this post, I will allow myself a small departure from today's topic.
Chester and his addiction and depression ended in suicide in July 2017.
Again, I must recall Brian and Stefan's efforts to talk as much as possible about this sensitive topic.
Here you can watch a video where Chester is shot a few hours before his death. It was published by his wife Talinda, with this sentence:
"๐ผ'๐‘š ๐‘ โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘ค๐‘–๐‘›๐‘” ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘–๐‘  ๐‘ ๐‘œ ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘ก ๐‘ฆ๐‘œ๐‘ข ๐‘˜๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘ค ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘ก ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘ ๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘‘๐‘œ๐‘’๐‘ ๐‘›'๐‘ก โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘ฃ๐‘’ ๐‘Ž ๐‘“๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘’ ๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ ๐‘Ž ๐‘š๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘‘."

Men and their emotions. Men and their position in society. This whole post is about that. We need emotions to properly experience every situation in our lives.
Let's talk about it, together, with our children.
Change is possible. It's up to us.
