Should Musicians use their concerts for political speech?

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

What about the fact that many songs are political.

Alan Jackson's "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)"
John Lennon's "All we are saying is give peace a chance"

etc. 

[StL FinFan]

If you like a certain artist, you already know the content of their songs.  It's what they say when they are not playing or singing songs that we are talking about.

Speaking of John Lennon, he would have been 68 yesterday.  How strange is that?

Not trying to win anything........thats your problem.

And if you are not Gay then I apoligize. We have a very active PM system here and I was listening to something that was said by a few others. That and BoSox girls mentioned a Best friend that was so If thats not true then again I take it back. But the point still holds true. Its not healthy to have that much hate exposed everytime you post.

Can you just answer 1 question for me Honestly?  Can you honestly tell me that there is nothing positive about the McCain campaign? Not 1 thing?

What did BoSox Girl mention about a best friend? She's met my boyfriend. We've had dinner together. I'm in her wedding party. The active PM system? WTF does that even mean?

There's no hatred here. I'm just going to call people out on their bullshit.

And...no. I have nothing positive to say about McCain's campaign. Why is that hard to believe? Different people look for different things in a candidate. That's my right.

Thats a really good point. Lots of Politcians have approached John Mellencamp about using his music and he's told them to Fuck off.

Nothing actually. Just that she had a best friend that was gay , and from what others told me that you were. So I put 2 and 2 together. Like I said.......If I got bad info I apologize. Maybe that person will chime in? if not I'll take the blame.

The active PM system? WTF does that even mean?

Just that there are several people here that are sick of the slanted Liberal bias here. This place may become two much of a hate pit soon and may lose several members soon if its not addressed.

There is a Ton of it coming out of you and THAT's no bullshit. Maybe your just ignorant? I don't know you personally but its becoming more apparent everyday.

And...no. I have nothing positive to say about McCain's campaign. Why is that hard to believe? Different people look for different things in a candidate. That's my right.

No one said you didn't have the right. I have the right to believe many things as well but that doesn't make it right. NOTHING in this world is one sided as you make it out to be. When you drop the big I Know it all , I'm as tough as anyone of you guys attitude, maybe then you will actually learn something. I'd be lying if I didn't admit I haven't learned anything from you. Thanks for answering the question though.

Speaking of musicians did anyone get a chance to see Def Leppard handle the Stanley cup at the opening game for Detroit ?
It's funny, they odiously have no clue what the Stanly Cup is and place on a pedestal upside down.

Who's Stanley and why did he let Def Leppard handle his cup?  People in Detroit are just wierd.

Oh...and he's white.

I've never seen this variation of "I'm not racist!  I have friends who are black!"

John Lennon's "All we are saying is give peace a chance"

Has anyone ever heard a crowd singing this and NOT laughed hysterically?  It's like the anthem of the misguided.

My PM box must be broken.     The last PM I got was someone asking me if I had AIM so he could cuss me out in real time.

Are you implying that you'd like the off-topic board to be one big happy nonstop liberal circle jerk?

Personally I don't learn a lot from people who have the same views as me.  Unfortunately, I don't learn much from condescending, hate-filled, race baiters either  ... but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to try.
