RE:Celine Dion
The problem is that rock and roll (which hardly exists anymore, but created the market for the current pop product into which it evolved) came of age in the Vietnam era. Most artists, even ones that were born after 1980, can't operate out of any other context than misdirected anti-establishment "war sucks, dude" type of thought.
Remember when New Kids on the Block showed up at the 1991 AMA's wearing a big "War Sucks" t-shirt? For the freakin' Desert Storm conflict, no less. The most obviously supported military effort in recent memory. Case in point.
Lack of intelligence, or lack of context, or in some cases, both.
