This week, we’ve been looking at the group “Artists Against Fracking” and their misinformation campaign to stop natural gas development in New York. Part I delved into a recent radio campaign by Michelle Williams, and for Part II we’ll be looking at co-founder, Sean Lennon’s, recent opinion piece in the New York Times. So, let’s just take a few moments to Imagine if all these artists took the time to do some real research on natural gas development.

Sean Lennon isn’t really an artist we knew too much about prior to he and his mother, Yoko Ono, creating this group. So, before we started analyzing what he wrote, we figured we had better get a feel for the man behind the words. And, what better place to start for a struggling singer than on YouTube? His last solo album, Friendly Fire, was released in 2006 and ranks #32,137 in music on Amazon. So really it shouldn’t be a surprise he’s using an anti-natural gas agenda to promote himself. It reminds us a bit of his Occupy pal Josh Fox, about whom the Playgoer blog asked; “what does a downtown director have to do to get on national TV? Make an HBO muckraking documentary, of course!.”
