Don Henley pulled a Linda Ronstadt.
At a recent concert, the former Eagles crooner drew some boos as well as some cheers and some angry listeners walked out when Henley talked politics. The singer poked fun at President Bush and Vice President Cheney while performing at the Amphitheater in Costa Mesa, Calif., and tried to defend Ronstadt, who was given her walking papers by management after she promoted Michael Moores anti-Bush film Fahrenheit 9/11 in her concert.
Given what my good friend Linda Ronstadt Henley started telling the crowd, but he was cut down as the audience erupted in boos, reports the Orange County Register. Henley responded: Whoops Orange County, we used to be able to have civil debate in this country. Not anymore.
Henley then said that Bush and Cheney should sing his next song and then performed Randy Newmans Political Science a satirical song suggesting that the U.S. drop bombs on any country that doesnt like it. Ex-Henley fans responded by leaving the concert.
When will these "heart and soul" of America (the celebrity entertainers) ever learn?
