About this Quote

This quote by Sheryl Crow speaks with the lack of representation of artists in politics. She suggests that artists have actually not been able to make a merged presence on Capitol Hill due to the individualistic nature of the artist. This is a referral to the 1960s, when the counterculture movement remained in full speed and individualism was celebrated. This quote suggests that the days of artists uniting together to make a political statement have passed, and that artists now lack the representation they need in politics. This is a pointer that artists require to come together and make their voices heard in order to be represented in politics. It is very important for artists to acknowledge the power of collective action and to utilize it to make their voices heard.
