[QUOTE="SuzQ, post: 8741380, member: 31850"] That's why I wanted a quick poll, to make sure I wasn't the only one who never heard Don Henley even speak, let alone hear his politics. I don't think knowing someone is a "Democrat" counts. I also don't have the time or inclination to "study" the politics of EVERY musician I listen to. Egads. I would have no life, LOL! Ben Affleck supports John Kerry, period. He doesn't use low, immature remarks about the President, to my knowledge. Yet, has ANYONE, anyone at all from the right showed anger or outrage with Ben Affleck in the media?? Nope. In fact, he was praised by many for his presence & rhetoric at the DNC. He spoke eloquently about the ISSUES. Same with our lovely Mr. Wayne Newton - he travels around with Bush & simply supports him as the candidate. How would the Vegas crowd feel if Newton slammed Kerry's Vietnam record in the middle of one of his concerts? See what I mean? The same people who cheered Linda Ronstadt would have boo'ed and walked out, no? So, answer me this: why doesn't Don, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, REM just show support for Kerry? Why does the rhetoric & concert have to be "anti-Bush"??? Guess what? It can backfire, big time. The negativity may even garner BUSH more votes from those sitting on the fence who are angered & sympathetic!! Obviously their intent means they want people to vote for Kerry, so why not just say, "Vote for Kerry" concert??? (Still wouldn't buy a ticket, but would not have as hard of feelings about it, either). BIG difference in supporting a party & candidate.....and just slamming the opponent & ripping them to shreds?? Class & dignity. Two words missing from a lot of people's vocabulary these days. [/QUOTE]
