"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" were the slogans used by the enlightenment philosophers who advocated a return to nature back in the 1700 century.The struggle continues some 300 years later when religious rights activists in the US attempt to shut down a music video on the grounds of nudity. Naturists remain a group very much at the crossroads still today.
Even if in her debut video ¡°Thank You Very Much¡±, pop starlet Margaret actually plays the role of the adolescent who is annoyed by the degree of nakedness certain parents would sometime force on a collective, in real life she is seriously upset at the prospect of not being allowed to reach out to her fans on grounds such as these.
For kids today, nakedness is not a big deal. The video is a tongue-in-cheek way of looking at things from a different perspective.That a society that embraces the right to carry firearms in public spaces will find it appropriate to ban a video portraying a loving family environment where there is no violence, or bad behaviour and not even the suggested sexual activity is outright ridiculous in this day and age.
¡°In spite of YouTube, generally considered the primary advocate of free speech in the 21st century siding with the dark forces in this case, I am excited that my fans are able to find the clip in other ways.¡± states Margaret matter of factly.
¡°Thank You¡± - which indeed features around 30 fully nude men and women in the ages between 6 months and 73 years old - was intended by award winning director Chris Marrrs Piliero as a statement to decrease the drama of appearing naked in front of others, at the same time making a point of not accepting this to be forced on you.
Politics and videos aside ¡°Thank You Very Much¡± is piece of perfect pop aimed at airwaves and beaches of the world in the summer of 2013 to be released worldwide in a partnership between Germanys Mach1 Recordings and Extensive Music through association with Universal Music.
