It was a tome to the many celebrities who love to rant about what they believe and for whom they would be voting in the 2004 election. Twenty years ago and apparently, based on their conduct, most celebrities still haven’t read the book.
Can’t say whether or not Pharrell Williams did or didn’t read the book, either. But USA Today reported on September 18 that he told told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published last week that he doesn't "really do politics" and gets "annoyed sometimes" when celebrities tell people who to vote for.
“There are celebrities that I respect that have an opinion, but not all of them," he said. "I'm one of them people (who says), 'What the heck? Shut up. Nobody asked you.'"
In the past, Mr Williams admits he has supported people in the past but also says it was a personal choice for him only. I can respect that.
Everyone supports his or her favorite candidate. I know I do. And Mr Williams is entitled to support his.
But, at least, he doesn’t get on a soapbox or hold a press conference, using his celebrity, to make the world see his point of view, like so many of his colleagues.
