I didn't say they should shut up. I just said I don't want to go to a concert and listen to political commentary. I just said that if they want to speak their minds they should expect a possible backlash from the fan base that doesn't like it.

If I wasn't interested in listening to opinions different than mine, I wouldn't post here, because about 90% of the political opinions posted vary from about.

True, I didn't list any conservatives. Charleton Heston has certainly been given grief by the anti gun lobby, has he not? Arnold is a governor. He kind of has to speak out. I've never bothered to listen to what Tom Selleck or either of the Millers has to say. However, I suppose I can justify my selection in that the majority of the Hollywood crowd seems to be on the left. Please note the word "seems".

The Dixie Chicks concert I went to was in Phoenix right after all this happened. There were no political comments made. One quick reference to "the controversy" was all that was said about it. I think it was a comment made for the audience at the time, which was in London.

After that they did come out and do interviews etc in which they expresses their political opinions. But I don't they made a habit of doint it during their shows.

As one who goes to concerts pretty regularly, I haven't been to a concert in ages where there WASN'T political commentary of some kind. Artists speak about society and politics is a HUGE part os life. It could be that there are artists out there who don't "imbibe" in social commentary and I just don't see them. It would be fair to say that I am just not attracted to artists that only deal in hearts and flowers.

My last concert was Garbage, last summer. So much fun!

Oops, I have nothing to add regarding the Dixie Chicks. I'm the farthest thing from a fan, really. My late best friend enjoyed them bunches, and another dear friend of mine played them once for me. I tried. I really, really did. Sort of. Okay, kinda. Maybe not so much. I was like, "The only instruments missing are a washboard & the jug. With XXX on the side". Only a Country Bear can keep my interest that way. It's nothing against the Chicks, God bless 'em.

Goodbye Earl, hello Morrissey. That's music to my ears!

And that is my only point, your disgust with the actions of certain celebrities "seems" to be more their liberal point of view than the fact that they chose to express it at a concert. Had they all said "God Bless the USA", I doubt you would feel that they deserved to be labeled self-important and full of themselves. Otherwise, the list of entertainers you feel are deserving of this scorn would be a little more evenly distributed between those on the left and those on the right.

I love that song! I also love The Angry American by Toby Keith and I still like Reba (and Toby) and Gretchen Wilson. All people who "hate" the Dixie Chicks.

I guess I'm going to hell now. That's ok. Thinking for myself is worth it.
