My Take
Tom Robinson is the kind of artist I deeply respect: someone who weaponized pop music for conscience. "Glad to Be Gay" was an act of courage at a time when silence was safer, and the chart success of "2-4-6-8 Motorway" and "War Baby" proved he could marry message with melody. What moves me most isn't the hits but the longevity of his purpose, carried through decades as singer, broadcaster, and activist. He never stopped using his platform to amplify others, and that integrity ages far better than any chart position. To me, he's proof that backbone and craft can coexist beautifully.
