"I Never Really Thought About M.I.A. As A Real Person"

“Why I like MIA more than almost any other political art is because it’s possible not to see it as self-righteous. It’s not expressing a view of the world that demands moral purity, but one that admits the complicated nature of political issues-even if Maya seems incapable of doing that on, say, her Twitter. (Though I still don’t know how you can take the statements of someone who has worn pants that light up at face value, but whatever.)”
