Russell Brand

[Horuseus]

It is fairly evident his role here and the incarnate circumstances of his life geared towards what we now see espoused.

What's his role here?

In this context and at this time it does seem to me as though he is utilizing his reach and public afforded status to provide a platform to discuss, or rather bring into the collective awareness more effectively, certain critical issues that are usually ignored by the MSM, as well as provide an alternate train of thought as a 'possibility'. We saw this in his recent "Messiah Complex" tour, which was his attempt at conveying key messages regarding the 'distraction' whilst mixing with comedic value in order to keep the wider audience engaged, which may not have otherwise been the case. It gives a public voice to an alternate spectrum of thought in a somewhat subliminal fashion.

Late Edit: It occurred to me a short while after this post that 'role' is likely a tad too strong of a word. Who am I to sum up the purpose of an individuals life in but a few short sentences.
