Culture

Bob Dylan asking the moral questions everyone is avoiding. Integrity as the refusal to pretend you don't see what you see.

Tracy Chapman. The slow boiling point of people who can no longer pretend the arrangement is acceptable.

Marvin Gaye refusing to record what Motown wanted and insisting on making the album that needed to exist. Artistic integrity against commercial pressure.

Rush. The social pressure to conform mapped onto the architecture of a suburb. Integrity as the cost of being visibly different in a world organized around sameness - the kid who doesn't fit the acceptable norm.
